Nepal’s Border Crossing Washed Away: Satellite Images Show Flood’s Toll

Before-and-after satellite images reveal the true scale of destruction in Nepal’s remote villages. The floodwaters have swept away entire settlements, including homes, vital bridges, and a key border crossing between Nepal and Tibet. The images confirm that the Nepal-Tibet crossing, a crucial route for trade and travel, has been completely destroyed. In the affected villages, the landscape is unrecognizable. Where buildings and infrastructure once stood, there is now only mud and rubble. Rescue and recovery efforts are ongoing, but the damage to local infrastructure is severe.
