This was reported on August 30 by The Kathmandu Post, citing the country's authorities. Nepal's National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority reported that 2,498 people remain missing, including 589 foreign nationals and 85 security personnel. Another 242 people were injured. Many of the dead were carried hundreds of kilometers away by the Bhotekosi and Trishuli rivers. Unidentified bodies were sent to 21 hospitals for identification. The search and rescue operation involved 19,895 military personnel, police officers, and armed police officers. To date, 8,186 people have been rescued. Over the past two days, 279 people have been evacuated from the hydroelectric power station tunnel, and another 227 foreigners were airlifted by helicopter. Authorities are also delivering food and essential supplies to the affected areas. The flooding occurred on the morning of August 26 after a powerful mudflow occurred near the Nepal-China border. Due to a rockfall and ice slide, a torrent of water and debris rushed down the Lhende River, inundating the area around the Gyirong border crossing.
