Nepal Flash Floods Leave Thousands Missing; Rescue Efforts Continue

In early September 2026, flash floods in Nepal triggered by a glacial lake outburst swept through villages and a hydropower plant, leaving around 4,500 people missing. Rescue teams, using drones and rescue dogs, have been searching for workers and residents, including South Korean nationals. A 5-year-old girl was pulled alive from the rubble after nearly 60 hours, and officials say there is a good chance some trapped workers are still alive.
