The Aftermath of Floods and Landslides on the Tibet and Nepal Border
The destruction left by major floods and mudflows along the Nepal and Tibet border region makes search and rescue and damage assessment efforts difficult in the area.
Massive floods and mudflows that occurred in the border region between Nepal and Tibet caused widespread destruction in rural communities, with thousands reported missing and loss of life confirmed.
The Extent of Destruction in the Region
A massive wave of water and mud that struck settlements on the Nepal and Tibet border upended the lives of rural communities in the area.
Ten days after the disaster, scenes of devastation and catastrophe emerging from the field lay bare the severity of the situation.
Information on Missing Persons and Loss of Life
As a result of the major disaster, it was reported that approximately 1,300 people lost their lives across Nepal and thousands remain missing.
On the Tibet side, known as the roof of the world, very little information has been shared so far regarding the hundreds of people sought as missing.
