Nepal Floods Surge Amid Climate Crisis | Calgary News

Nepal braces for renewed flooding as water levels in the Bhotekoshi River surge again, triggering fresh warnings after last week’s catastrophic floods killed 788 and left over 2,500 missing. Rescue teams battle to reopen a vital highway, while survivors in Dhading sift through mud for salvageable items—some find livestock, others nothing. A key power plant serving 20,000 people is damaged, and bridges downed have severed communities. The disaster began with a massive glacial collapse—equivalent to a 5.2 quake—that unleashed a deadly torrent. Chinese authorities flagged rising upstream flows, adding urgency. Nepal’s foreign minister demands global action, as scientists link the event to climate change’s growing threat to Himalayan regions.
