Flood disaster in the Himalayas ++ Over 580 dead and around 2500 missing ++ Fear of a second wave

A catastrophic flood in the Himalayas has caused over 580 deaths and left approximately 2500 people missing, including many tourists and pilgrims. The Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs reports no confirmed Swiss casualties yet, though they have been unable to contact one Swiss woman. A lake formed by debris blocking a river in the border area has raised concerns about a potential second wave of flooding if the dam breaks. Rescue efforts are hindered by mud, and humanitarian organizations like UNICEF report that 17,000 children urgently need aid. The Red Cross estimates that more than 93,000 people have been affected. The Glückskette charity is raising funds for those impacted, with donations available through their website.

Flood disaster in the Himalayas ++ Over 600 dead and around 2,500 missing ++ Fear of a second wave

Am 27. August 2026 berichtet SRF News von einer katastrophalen Sturzflut im Himalaya-Gebiet, die zu über 600 Toten und rund 2500 Vermissten in Nepal und China geführt hat. Die Ursache war ein durch Schluff gebildeter See, der eine zweite Flutwelle bedroht. Das Eidgenössische Departement für auswärtige Angelegenheiten (EDA) gibt bislang keine Informationen zu Schweizer Opfern bekannt. Internationale Hilfsorganisationen wie Unicef warnen vor der Notlage von 17'000 Kindern, während die Glückskette einen Spendenauftrag startet. Mehrere Länder, darunter Kanada, haben finanzielle Hilfsmassnahmen angekündigt.
