Rescuers dig into tunnel as missing toll from Nepal, China disaster nears 3,000

Rescue operations continue in Nepal and China following a catastrophic glacial collapse that triggered massive floods and landslides in the Himalayas, resulting in nearly 3,000 people missing and over 600 fatalities. The disaster occurred near the Nepal-Tibet border, destroying entire villages and trapping workers in tunnels at the Trishuli 3A hydroelectric project. Nepali authorities inserted a pipe into a tunnel to begin search-and-rescue efforts, though many families remain desperate for information about their loved ones. Survivors describe complete destruction of their homes and livelihoods, while experts linked the event to climate change, noting increased risks due to global glacier melting. International organizations and local groups are involved in relief efforts.
