Rescuers dig into tunnel as missing toll from Nepal, China flood over 3,000

Floods triggered by a glacial collapse in the Himalayas have caused widespread devastation along the Nepal-China border, leaving over 3,000 people missing and at least 750 dead. The disaster occurred when a glacier on the southern slope of Lirung Peak collapsed, creating a massive debris flow that traveled over 20 kilometers and reached Gyirong Port. Rescue operations are ongoing, with Nepali forces working to save workers trapped in a tunnel at the Trishuli 3A hydroelectric project. Efforts have been hindered by heavy rain and rising river levels. International aid has been pledged, with the U.S., Canada, the UK, and the UN offering millions in humanitarian assistance. Survivors describe the destruction as complete, with entire villages swept away and little left to rebuild.
