Nepal-China Border Floods: Death Toll Tops 670, Nearly 3,000 Missing

In late August 2026, flash floods and mudslides along the Nepal-China border (in the Tibet region) have killed at least 670 people, with nearly 3,000 still missing. Rescue teams from both countries are digging through mud and debris to find survivors, while some survivors have reached safe areas. The disaster has overwhelmed local response efforts, and families are anxiously waiting for news of their loved ones.

Meanwhile, Chinese authorities have been deleting videos of the floods from social media, raising questions about censorship. The exact reasons for the removals are unclear, but the move has drawn attention as the region struggles with the aftermath of one of the deadliest natural disasters in recent years.
