The death toll from flash floods and mudslides along the Nepal-China border has risen above 1,300, with more than 5,600 people still missing nine days after a glacier fracture triggered devastating debris flows through the Himalayan region .
Rescuers pulled two workers alive from a hydropower tunnel in Nepal on Friday, offering a rare moment of hope amid the ongoing search for at least 900 others believed trapped in tunnels along the Trishuli River. The men, identified as Sanjay Shah, a team leader, and Kabir Maharjan, a project supervisor, were rescued from a depth of 170 meters inside the Trishuli 3A tunnel, according to army spokesperson Brigadier General Raja Ram Basnet. Shah, who was in the tunnel’s control room with 40-45 others when the flood hit, said he stayed behind to help others escape before becoming trapped himself .
The disaster has left entire villages unrecognizable, with the Trishuli River swelling to the point that bridges were destroyed, forcing residents to use ziplines to cross. Authorities estimate damage to homes and infrastructure at around 24 billion Norwegian kroner, with roughly 20,000 houses destroyed, including 7,500 completely leveled. The UN office in Nepal has requested $50 million to assist approximately 84,000 affected people .
Latvia has confirmed 33 of its citizens are missing, including a group of tourists organized by the company Yantra. Prime Minister Andris Kulbergs said Latvia has offered assistance to Nepal, though no specific request has been received. A consular representative has been dispatched to coordinate with local authorities and assist with potential repatriations .
