📍Rasuwa District, Nepal. A major sudden flash flood has entered Rasuwa from the Tibet side through the Bhote Koshi River in Nepal. The exact trigger is still under investigation. Officials and hydrologists are examining the possibility of a glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF) or another sudden high-altitude flood event in Tibet; satellite observations reportedly show significant rainfall on the Tibetan side.

CBS News’ Ramy Inocencio is in Nepal, where thousands of people are reported missing following catastrophic flash floods and landslides, triggered by the collapse of a rocky ledge and the vast portion of a glacier it had supported. Some experts have raised concerns there could be more flooding from lakes at risk of overflowing, although Reuters reports those risks are manageable. #nepal #flood #rescue #news

Experts say the devastating flash floods in Nepal were likely caused by a glacial collapse in the Himalayas, and that climate change increases the risk of such events. Once again, communities least responsible for climate change bear the brunt of its impacts. Sustained international support is essential as the authorities respond to the catastrophe.

🚨 BREAKING — NEPAL FLOOD DISASTER GROWS EVEN WORSE 🇳🇵🇨🇳 The death toll from the catastrophic flash floods along the Nepal–China border has now risen to at least 162, with hundreds of people still missing. 💔 The disaster struck after a glacial collapse sent a massive surge of mud, rocks and water through the Himalayan valleys, devastating communities in Nepal’s Rasuwa region and across the border in Tibet’s Gyirong County. Entire villages, roads, bridges, vehicles and critical infrastructure were swept away within minutes. The region is also a major route for pilgrims and trekkers travelling toward Mount Kailash and Lake Mansarovar, leaving hundreds of tourists and foreign nationals unaccounted for. Rescue teams, helicopters, soldiers and emergency workers are continuing the search through the devastated areas, but damaged roads and disrupted communications are making the operation extremely difficult. This is no longer just a flood — it is a massive humanitarian disaster unfolding across the Himalayas. 💔 May God protect everyone still missing, guide the rescuers, bring survivors safely back to their families, and give strength to everyone who has lost a loved one. 🙏🇳🇵🇨🇳 #BREAKING #NepalFloods #Nepal #Tibet #China #PrayForNepal #Floods

#WATCH | Delhi: NDRF Commandant Gyaneshwar Singh says, "A GLOF (glacial lake outburst flood) hit Tibet-Nepal border and then further down in Nepal. It is likely to hit Gandak. Since our responsibility is up to the India-Nepal border, MHA is monitoring it. State Govt is also assessing the situation. Bihar CM too assessed it recently. Two of our teams have been deployed in Gandak river basin - West Champaran and Muzaffarpur. The area likely to be hit in UP, Kushinagar lies beside Gandak. So, we have deployed our teams. Already, 9 of our teams are deployed in Bihar and 11 in UP for floodwater rescue. MHA is monitoring the overall situation. State Govts and Central Water Commission are also monitoring it. An advisory was issued in the morning to the state Govts...Our additional teams are also prepared. As and when State Govts feel that we are required, NDRF will deploy the team."

#WATCH | Oslo, Norway | On the flood situation in Nepal, Wadia Institute of Himalayan Geology (WIHG) Associate Professor, Dr Swapnamita Choudhury Vaideswaran, says, "... I could see that there was hardly any rainfall, about six millimeters. But if you remember the Dharali incident, there was hardly any rain in the valleys... Right now, we can only speculate and not conclude much... We need to understand how we can become more aware and more prepared to understand which of our glacial lakes we need to start monitoring that can pose a risk to Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, or Kashmir. The climate change scenario is demanding that we become more prepared."

NEPAL FLOOD, INDIA'S WORRY: CURSE OF LOWER RIPARIAN STATES Devastating flash flood waters originating in Tibet, Chinese controlled territory, have deluged Nepal. The flash flood originated in the Trishuli - Bhote Koshi river that originates in Tibet. No one knows the exact cause. Some speculate it could be due to an earthquake that struck a part of Tibet that stands opposite the Rasuwa, Nuwakot and Dhading districts of Nepal. Tough there is no basis yet to conclude that Chinese authorities deliberately released water into the river's basin a group of anonymous Nepali journalists have blamed China. Or to be precise construction in Glacial areas along the China – Nepal border had damaged the sensitive ecosystem and contributed to recurring avalanches, which in turn triggered the flash flood. Many hundreds of thousands of people in Nepal and Tibet have lost their homes, several, including Indian tourists, are dead. But given that the Bhote Koshi–Trishuli system feeds into the Narayani/Gandak and eventually flows into the Ganga, West Champaran, East Champaran, Gopalganj, Saran & Vaishali should remain vigilant. This may not become a major flood in India. But it's best to be vigilant. Which is why the Centre has issued advisories to Bihar. Indeed, this is the curse of lower riparian states. It isn't just Nepal but India also has to be extremely worried about water security risks from China. This is because China controls the upper reaches of critical transboundary rivers like the Brahmaputra, known as the Yarlung Tsangpo in Tibet, and can potentially influence water flows through its upstream infrastructure, while India has limited visibility into what happens upstream. What's most worrying is that India and China have no comprehensive, binding water-sharing treaty. The Nepal floods are therefore a reminder of a larger strategic vulnerability: India is downstream of both Nepal and China. Natural disasters may be unavoidable. But India cannot afford to be unprepared for what happens upstream.

Gyirong Port on the Nepal-Tibet border is confirmed to have been completely annihilated by yesterday’s glacial flash superflood. Located 12.2 miles (19.7 km) downstream of the Himalayan glacier collapse that created the flood, it is possible there are no survivors here. This CCTV footage recorded at the port last night will likely go down as some of the most extreme and spine-chilling footage of a flash flood ever captured by humanity.

The Dharali disaster on 5 August 2025 wasn’t caused by a cloudburst or a classic glacier break. ISRO scientists have found that a large ice patch beneath the Shrikanta Glacier suddenly collapsed, carrying tens of thousands of cubic meters of ice, soil, and rocks downhill. This initial collapse transformed into a high‑energy debris flow, scouring the valley and creating the devastating flood. Multi‑temporal satellite imagery and digital elevation models show the event occurred independently of rainfall or a glacial lake outburst. 📍 Dharali village, Uttarkashi district, Uttarakhand, in the Indian Himalayas

A MASSIVE chunk of glacier ice broke away on the China-Nepal border, causing a devastating wall of water racing toward Gyirong Port. This is how the flood began. 👇 Explore the map in 3D: The ice collapsed from around 17,000 feet on Langtang Lirung, plunging roughly 4,000 feet into the valley below with an impact reportedly equivalent to hundreds of tons of TNT. We can spot the aftermath of this collapse in today's capture on Landsat satellite imagery. The impact shattered the ice and unleashed a violent torrent of water, rock and mud, effectively draining a nearby glacial lake into the Trishuli River. The river rose an estimated 50-100+ feet and expanding to around five times its normal width. Funneled through Nepal's steep mountain valleys, the flood became a deadly wall of debris. Then it hit Gyirong Port... What followed is the terrifying video seen around the world, with vehicles swept away, infrastructure destroyed, and people left running from something unstoppable. And it all began with a single collapse, high in the Himalayas. By looking at the landscape before and after a disaster, we can better understand what happened, track the damage, identify areas at risk and potentially help communities prepare for future events. Seeing the full picture can help us work towards preventing or reducing the impact of the next one. #Nepal #Flood #China

I PRAY FOR NEPAL! 💔🥹💔 Deeply saddened and horrified by the devastation caused by the sudden floods in Nepal. Lives lost. Families torn apart. Homes washed away. Helpless animals caught in the destruction. It is heartbreaking to imagine how, in a few moments, everything someone calls their own can disappear. Watching these scenes, I feel such helplessness. What words can possibly comfort someone who has lost a loved one? My heart goes out to the grieving families and to everyone living through this fear and uncertainty. I pray for the people of Nepal and for those affected across the border in Tibet. May those still waiting for help be reached. May those searching for their loved ones find them safe. And may those who have lost everything find support, shelter and a hand to hold. I hope the world comes together to help—with compassion, with urgency, and with whatever each of us can give. In this time of unimaginable sorrow, let us make sure they do not feel alone. 💔🙏 #Nepal #Floods

My advice on travelling to NEPAL: “Don’t come to look at the mountains, come to have the mountains look at you.” For thousands of years people having been coming to the Himalayas……seeking, pilgrimming, questing. Hoping to “see” the great Mountains of Myth, and what you will find is that the mountains have been seeking to see you. Calling you to them, you have heard it in your soul, the great songs of dreams. Some people come as Kings, and the Himalayas will show them what being a beggar is. Some people come as beggars, and are shown the riches of a Life. This is Myth playing out in real time, no matter how modern the world of humans seems to get, the Himalayas are timeless and always watching. People have come to these mountains, and from them learned Yoga asanas, people have come and have died, people have come and found freedom……and people will always come. The great Saint who brought the Dharma to Tibet, Padmasambhava, was no exception, and was held in the valley of modern Kathmandu for a long period of time, before he was allowed to proceed on his historic journey. The Himalayas did this, preparing him for his future tasks. Nepal is a cacophony of sights and sounds, and it’s easy to get distracted. It’s even easier to be a “tourist” and miss Nepal completely. My advice: if the Himalayas called you to them, and you took action and got yourself here, then humble one self and listen with more than your eyes and ears. The Himalayas will sing to you, if you get quiet enough to hear them. Go on a long walk, without a reason to come back……as good old Henry David Thoreau said, “Saunter”. #travel #adventure #Nepal

A NEW START FOR NEPAL. Huge congratulations to the new Nepal PM Balen – a man who has spent his career fighting corruption – first as Kathmandu Mayor and now as PM. Nepal recently had a hugely important election, one that the youth of Nepal fought for. They made their voices heard - they want an end to corruption and a better Nepal for the future. They are brave and inspiring. The hopes of a nation now rest on this new chapter in Nepal’s history. There is a lot to do, but I know it can be done and positive changes can happen. The corruption has to end. Nepal and her people deserve better. Whether that’s fake news, business or Governmental corruption – it has to stop. I support Balen and the new Government and wish them the very best for this vital task that lies ahead. Jai Nepal! #BalenShan #NepalElections #EndCorruption #ForNepal #Nepal #Nimsdai
