At least 160 people are dead after flash floods and landslides struck the Nepal-Tibet border region, and rescue teams are still struggling to reach the hardest-hit areas.
Crews are pulling survivors and bodies from thick mud as they fight through blocked roads and unstable terrain. The disaster zone remains largely cut off, delaying aid and medical support.
Authorities say the death toll could rise as search efforts continue. The exact cause of the sudden flooding has not been confirmed, but heavy seasonal rains are a likely trigger.
Local officials are coordinating with emergency teams to clear debris and open access routes. For now, the priority remains locating missing persons and providing shelter to those who lost their homes.
