Nepal-Tibet Flash-Flood Deaths Rise as Rescuers Race to Free Tunnel Workers

Deaths from flash flooding in Nepal and Tibet have risen as rescuers race to free workers trapped inside a tunnel. Torrential rains triggered sudden surges, damaging roads, isolating communities, and sending debris through vulnerable areas. Emergency teams are using heavy equipment and search crews to reach those believed to be trapped, while difficult terrain and unstable conditions slow the operation. Authorities are also coordinating medical support, evacuations, and relief supplies as families await updates and the disaster’s impact becomes clearer.
