Nepal mourns flood victims as death toll exceeds 1,350

Nepal held a national day of mourning on September 7, 2026, for victims of catastrophic flash floods that have killed more than 1,350 people. Rescue efforts continue, with nearly 5,000 people still missing and hopes persisting for workers trapped in tunnels. The disaster has also prompted fact-checking efforts, as an AI-generated video misrepresented the cause of the flooding. International relief teams, including a South Korean unit, have been involved in dramatic rescues, such as saving a Chinese survivor.
