Hopes of finding survivors dimmed on Wednesday, a week after a glacier collapse in the Himalayas triggered catastrophic flash floods that devastated Nepal and parts of China’s Tibet region. Authorities reported at least 1,127 deaths in Nepal alone, with nearly 4,500 people still missing, according to police and government statements .
China’s state media reported 16 deaths and 546 missing in Tibet, where rescue crews completed a makeshift road to the disaster site at Gyirong Port on the Nepal border, allowing heavy machinery to access the washed-away border crossing .
Nepal’s Foreign Ministry said 324 foreign nationals had been rescued, while about 590 from 39 countries remained missing. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese confirmed that five Australians previously unaccounted for had been found safe, reducing the number of missing Australians from 43 to 38 .
Of the bodies recovered in Nepal, only 95 had been handed over to families by Wednesday morning, as most remains were unidentifiable, with rescuers often finding only bone fragments. Authorities stated that DNA analysis could later identify all recovered remains, aiding families in burial rites .
The World Health Organization warned of disease outbreaks in the affected areas, citing the risk of infectious diseases spreading due to displaced populations living in cramped conditions, flooding, and stagnant water .
Nepali families began holding symbolic funeral ceremonies to "liberate the souls" of missing loved ones, with some relatives losing hope after days of searching shelters and mortuaries. Dolma Newar Tamang, whose husband disappeared en route to China, told AFP, “We had to do this to set his soul free, so that he is at peace and happy wherever he is” .
Rescue teams continued searching tunnels of hydropower plants, where survivors might still be trapped. Nepal’s Foreign Minister Shisir Khanal said he still hoped some of the missing could be alive, stating, “Miracles do happen. At this point, I do not want to completely give up hope” .
Nepal’s Prime Minister Balendra Shah linked the disaster to climate change, calling it “a serious indication that the risks we face in the Himalayan region are increasing alongside climate change” and emphasizing that “disaster response is also a global responsibility” .
Satellite images published in *Nature* revealed accelerated movement of a glacier-rock mass days before its collapse, which triggered the deadly flash flood .

V Nepálu pokračuje pátrání po lidech uvězněných v tunelech a šachtách vodních elektráren, které minulý týden zasáhla ničivá povodňová vlna. Záchranářům ale chybí těžká technika a práci jim komplikují velmi špatné podmínky pod zemí. Pomáhají jim proto i drony.

Bilanțul autostrăzilor construite prin PNRR: Ce se întâmplă cu proiectele întârziate şi cât va plăti România pentru ele A7 Bacău–Paşcani şi A1 Margina–Holdea au ratat termenul-limită al PNRR, dar şantierele nu se opresc. O parte dintre lucrări va fi plătită din bugetul de stat, iar pentru altele autorităţile încearcă să găsească finanţare europeană prin programele clasice. România pierde însă avantajul finanţării ieftine din PNRR. În paralel, Ministerul Transporturilor estimează că până la sfârşitul lui 2026 ar putea fi deschişi circa 250 de kilometri de autostrăzi şi drumuri expres.

600 de locuințe pentru tineri și o cale ferată strategică, în impas: șantierele deschise în PNRR au rămas fără finanțare România trage linie în dreptul reformelor cu bani europeni. Chiar dacă țara noastră a reușit să se modernizeze, a și pierdut milioane de euro. Multe proiecte nu au fost finalizate la timp, așa că acum autoritățile sunt nevoite să găsească alte surse de finanțare. Este și cazul a 600 de locuințe pentru tineri, care urmau să fie date în folosință în Gorj, dar și a tronsonului de cale ferată dintre Episcopia Bihor și Cluj-Napoca, rută pe care nu se mai circulă de trei ani.
