Nepal-Çin buzul felaketinde ölü sayısı 1200'ü aştı, kayıp 5 bine yaklaşıyor
26 Ağustos'ta Himalaya sınır bölgesinde meydana gelen buzul çökmesi, Nepal ve Çin'in Tibet Özerk Bölgesi'nde ani sel ve heyelanlara yol açtı. Su, kaya ve enkaz dalgası köyleri silip süpürdü; en az 1.200 kişi hayatını kaybetti, 5.000'e yakın kişi kayıp. Kayıplar arasında yüzlerce yabancı uyruklu da bulunuyor. Arama kurtarma ekipleri enkaz altında ve hidroelektrik tünellerinde sağ kalanları ararken, Birleşmiş Milletler yardım ulaştırmanın çok zor olduğunu açıkladı. Felaket, bölgedeki erken uyarı ve izleme altyapısındaki eksikleri ortaya çıkardı. Uzmanlar, buzul çökmesinden önce bazı işaretlerin görüldüğünü ancak mevcut sistemlerin bu tür olayları öngörmekte yetersiz kaldığını belirtti. Nepal hükümeti sınır bölgesine sismik sensörler, kameralar ve uydu bağlantısı içeren yeni bir erken uyarı sistemi kurmayı planlıyor. Nepal Dışişleri Bakanı felaketi iklim değişikliğinin artan risklerine dair "bir uyarı sinyali" olarak nitelendirdi. Hayatta kalanlar evlerini ve tarım arazilerini kaybetti, geçici kamplarda veya akrabalarının yanında yaşam mücadelesi veriyor.

Number of missing in Nepal, China floods soars to nearly 3,000
Rescuers in Nepal and China were still battling on Saturday to locate thousands of people missing days after a deadly, tsunami-like wall of water and debris swept through the Himalayan region, engulfing villages. The number of missing soared close to 3,000 on Saturday, latest figures from both countries showed, with 633 bodies recovered — and reports of some dead possibly swept downstream as far away as India. In an area home to vast energy infrastructure projects, Nepal’s disaster authority added 933 hydropower workers to a missing persons list already including trekkers and pilgrims to Tibet’s sacred Mount Kailash. Those that made it out say they have lost everything and now face an agonising wait to discover the fate of missing loved ones, and the prospect of rebuilding their lives from nothing. A man takes pictures in front of damaged buildings after flash floods and a mudslide, in Trishuli, Nuwakot district, Nepal, August 29, 2026. — Reuters “All the settlements near the river were swept away. There is nothing left,” survivor Buddhi Ram Dangol told AFP. Samjhana Thing said she had been waiting three days for news of her missing brother. “We don’t know anything. Hopefully he is in a safe place,” she said. ‘Enormous’ trauma The trauma of Wednesday’s catastrophe has been “enormous”, and as many as 93,000 people may have been affected, the Red Cross said, with the death toll expected to rise. Emergency teams had been racing to retrieve survivors from affected zones, where the widespread devastation meant food and water supplies were running out. Compounding the search for the missing have been fears of further flooding in affected areas. The deluge of ice and mud caused huge lakes to form, and one of these formations has become a direct threat to emergency workers scouring the region for survivors. Children displaced by flash floods and a mudslide rest inside a relief camp in Trishuli, Nuwakot district, Nepal, August 29, 2026. — Reuters Nepali police urged all rescuers to “immediately move to a safe location”, saying they had received information that “a water dam has burst again on the Tibetan side”. In Tibet, where Chinese authorities are the only source of information, Beijing suspended its rescue operation at the hardest-hit area of Gyirong over the risk of renewed flooding, before saying the threat had eased. State news agency Xinhua reported early on Saturday morning that two villagers had been rescued in the area. ‘All swept away’ On the Nepali side of the border, the military located people trapped in the tunnel of the Trishuli 3A hydropower project, where they were working to find a way in to extract the survivors. “Two helicopters have been dispatched, but it is challenging because it is tough to even locate the entry points of the tunnel,” army spokesman Raja Ram Basnet told AFP. Rescuer load relief material in a helicopter to be transported to the areas affected by flash floods and a mudslide as it drizzles at the Maithali Barrack, an army training center, in Trishuli, Nuwakot district, Nepal, August 29, 2026. — Reuters Some 350 workers and residents have been brought to safety from the site, he added, but efforts were ongoing to rescue more than a hundred trapped in the same area. Workers rescued from other dam projects along the Trishuli valley described a disaster that unfolded with terrifying speed. Buddha Tamang told AFP he survived only because he was inside a tunnel at the dam where he worked when the flood struck. “The senior officers working on the other side, they were all swept away,” Tamang, who was airlifted on Thursday after being marooned for more than 24 hours, told AFP. Nepal reported a death toll of 626 people on Saturday. There are 2,426 people, including hundreds of foreigners, who are out of contact in Nepal. Across the border in Tibet, which is largely inaccessible to foreign journalists — seven people died and 554 remain missing, the state Xinhua news agency reported early Saturday. Authorities also said they had evacuated 555 stranded tourists and 499 Chinese residents from Tibet. In India, authorities said they had recovered seven bodies from rivers flowing from Nepal, believed to be flood victims. ‘Pilgrimage route’ Scores of Hindu devotees from across the world are among those missing on the border, as many were on a pilgrimage to Tibet’s Mount Kailash. Sivaranjani Muthunathan was travelling by bus with 56 others towards the Chinese border when they became stuck in what they thought was a traffic jam. “Then there was fog, smoke, something that seemed to suddenly engulf us,” Muthunathan, 46, told AFP on Friday, showing a phone video she recorded of a torrent surging towards her. A man walks past a damaged house after the flash floods and mudslide, at Devighat, Nuwakot district, Nepal, August 29, 2026. — Reuters Around them, vehicles were swept away or buried under mud. “One by one, we also climbed out through the driver’s side,” then scrambled up a hill, she said.

Rescuers race to find thousands missing after Nepal-China glacier collapse
Rescuers in Nepal and China raced on Sunday to find thousands of people missing after a glacier collapse unleashed a catastrophic mudslide across the Himalayas, as they faced challenging weather conditions and rising water levels. Authorities said the death toll rose to 750 by Sunday morning, with more than 3,000 people missing on both sides of the Nepal-China border after a torrent of ice, rock, mud and debris swept through mountain valleys and rivers on Wednesday, causing widespread devastation. The Red Cross has estimated that more than 90,000 people are likely to have been affected by the disaster, which China has linked to the effects of climate change. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi told his Nepalese counterpart during a Saturday telephone call that the mudslide was their “most severe cross-border disaster” in recent years and that rescue operations had risen to an unprecedented level of difficulty and complexity, state broadcaster CCTV reported. Nepal’s disaster authority said 734 people had died, 2,498 remained missing, and 7,514 had been rescued. On the Chinese side, authorities said 16 people were killed in Gyirong County, and 546 were missing. Beijing said 261 foreign nationals from 23 countries were unaccounted for in Tibet, near a key border crossing with Nepal. The scale of the disaster has complicated rescue efforts across the rugged Himalayan terrain. Local police in Nepal told Reuters that residents and rescue workers had moved to higher ground after the Trishuli River’s water levels rose in recent hours following fresh rainfall, raising fears of additional flooding. Rescue operations have been suspended several times since Friday because of bad weather and concerns that a lake formed across the Nepal-China border by the disaster could trigger fresh flooding after it began overflowing into Nepal’s Lhende Khola and Trishuli Rivers. CCTV reported that the lake threatening downstream areas had been largely drained by Saturday evening. But drones detected a landslide late on Saturday that is 2.8 kilometres downstream of the lake, forming a new dam and a fresh pool of water. In Nepal, rescue efforts have become more focused on hundreds of people believed to be trapped inside tunnels at hydropower plants damaged by the floods. Lok Bahadur Chhetri, a spokesperson for Nepal’s foreign ministry, said Nepal required international assistance in specialised areas, including tunnel rescue operations, DNA testing, refrigerated storage for bodies and forensic identification of decomposed remains. Indian and Chinese experts were already working to help open tunnels and support rescue operations, Chhetri said. Mass burials of decomposing bodies Days after desperate relatives moved between hospitals, morgues and relief centres searching for loved ones, authorities in Nepal began mass burials of hundreds of unidentified victims whose bodies had started to decompose. In Chitwan district, which escaped the direct impact of the disaster, bodies swept downstream from the flood-hit Rasuwa region have been carried by the river system into the Narayani River. Authorities are photographing the bodies, collecting DNA samples and recording identifying details in the hope that families may still be able to identify relatives after burial. “Of the bodies we have recovered so far, more than half are beyond recognition,” police officer Anil Thapa told Reuters. “Many have no visible faces. In some cases, only hands or legs remain; in others, only parts of the body are available. In many cases, more than half of the head is missing.” After burying more than 100 unidentified bodies on Saturday, authorities were digging additional graves on Sunday for hundreds more. Link to ‘long-term effects of climate change’ The flood was “caused by glacier instability under the long-term effects of global warming”, CCTV reported, saying it was a “new and prominent feature of cryosphere disasters” on the Tibetan plateau. The mudslide from the Nepalese side took six to seven minutes to reach the Gyirong border crossing, CCTV said, citing the findings of Chinese scientists. Dramatic surveillance footage shared worldwide showed torrents of water and debris engulfing buildings while people tried to flee. The state-run TV channel reported China has mobilised more than 2,100 rescue workers and allocated at least 220 million yuan ($32.7m) to support relief efforts and has been airdropping equipment and supplies to frontline rescuers, while its soldiers used life-detection equipment to look for the missing.

Nepal-China flood death toll rises to nearly 800, with over 3,000 missing
Devastating floods near the border with China killed at least 781 people in Nepal, its disaster authority said on Sunday, with 2,502 people missing as rescue efforts continued for a fifth day. Chinese state media earlier confirmed 16 dead in Tibet and 546 people missing following Wednesday’s disaster, taking the overall toll to 797 dead and 3,048 unaccounted for. Nepal’s missing list includes 592 foreigners unaccounted for. It also includes 933 workers on hydropower projects along the river which the torrent crashed through, according to the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority. Nepal’s disaster agency listed 1,910 missing citizens in an update on Sunday. That includes 562 unaccounted for in the hardest-hit district of Rasuwa. In India, authorities said they had recovered seven bodies from rivers flowing from Nepal, believed to be flood victims. However, they are not included in the toll. The Red Cross has estimated that more than 90,000 people are likely to have been affected by the disaster, which China has linked to the effects of climate change.

'No land left at all': Nepal flood survivors left with a transformed landscape
Sheltering with relatives or in temporary camps, survivors of devastating floods in Nepal say they can no longer rebuild their homes after the landscape was violently transformed, leaving them focused simply on survival. Pabitra Lamsal had lived with her family in Dhunge Bazaar, in the Nuwakot district, for over 40 years. But the family’s two homes and her rice paddy fields have vanished, swept away by the floodwaters. People retrieve their belongings from a house in the aftermath of flash floods at Devighat in Nepal’s Nuwakot district on September 3, 2026. —AFP/File “The river is flowing right where our houses used to stand,” the 45-year-old woman said, waiting at a government food distribution centre in Nuwakot. “There is no land left at all.” Along with the nine members of her family, she does not know where they will live. “You can’t think straight in a situation like this. We’ve rented two rooms for shelter, but we don’t have a stove to cook on, so we’re eating at a relative’s homes. The river swept away all the money we had.” People clear sludge from a house in the aftermath of flash floods at Devighat in Nepal’s Nuwakot district on September 3, 2026. —AFP/File She leaves with a bag of rice, a packet of noodles, oil and biscuits. Nearby, gutted buildings, half-buried trucks, and mountains of mud bear witness to the violence of the floodwaters that swept everything away in their path. Army helicopters, deployed for rescue operations, fly overhead at regular intervals. The devastating August 26 flood, after a vast glacial mountain collapse high above on the China-Nepal border crashed into the river below, has killed more than 1,300 people and left more than 5,600 missing across both countries. The United Nations appealed Friday for $50 million to help more than 84,000 people in Nepal affected by the disaster. A general view shows damaged houses covered in sludge in the aftermath of flash floods in Trishuli, Nepal’s Nuwakot district on September 4, 2026. —AFP Sumita Tamang, queueing for food supplies, said above all she wanted to find her missing husband, from whom she has heard nothing since the flood. “I’ve looked for him everywhere, but I still have no news of him. I hope he’s out there somewhere and will come home,” the 33-year-old said, her voice breaking through tears. “But I have absolutely no idea where he is. It’s been nine days.” ‘Lost everything’ For some victims, such as 47-year-old Rawendra Dawadi, headteacher of Trishuli Bazaar Secondary School, the flood was worse than a powerful 2015 earthquake which also devastated the region. “This disaster is far worse,” Dawadi said. “The school was completely destroyed by the earthquake, but we rebuilt it. Back then, we still had the land; this time, we’ve lost the land as well as the building.” Dawadi said he needed a new site before the school could be rebuilt. “This place is no longer safe,” he told AFP.

But the family’s two homes and her rice paddy fields have vanished, swept away by the floodwaters.

We’ve rented two rooms for shelter, but we don’t have a stove to cook on, so we’re eating at a relative’s homes. The river swept away all the money we had.” People clear sludge from a house in the aftermath of flash floods at Devighat in Nepal’s Nuwakot district on September 3, 2026. — AFP She leaves with a bag of rice, a packet of noodles, oil and biscuits. Nearby, gutted buildings, half-buried trucks, and mountains of mud bear witness to the violence of the floodwaters that swept everything away in their path. Army helicopters, deployed for rescue operations, fly overhead at regular intervals. The devastating August 26 flood, after a vast glacial mountain collapse high above on the China-Nepal border crashed into the river below, has killed more than 1,300 people and left more than 5,600 missing across both countries. The United Nations appealed on Friday for $50 million to help more than 84,000 people in Nepal affected by the disaster.

I hope he’s out there somewhere and will come home,” the 33-year-old said, her voice breaking through tears. “But I have absolutely no idea where he is. It’s been nine days.” ‘Lost everything’ For some victims, such as 47-year-old Rawendra Dawadi, headteacher of Trishuli Bazaar Secondary School, the flood was worse than a powerful 2015 earthquake which also devastated the region. “This disaster is far worse,” Dawadi said. “The school was completely destroyed by the earthquake, but we rebuilt it. Back then, we still had the land; this time, we’ve lost the land as well as the building.” Dawadi said he needed a new site before the school could be rebuilt. “This place is no longer safe,” he told AFP.

One of them, 72-year-old Krishna Lal Chitrakar, said the land in Devighat where his home and those of his three sons once stood “has been turned into a riverbank”. “My father and four generations of my family lived in this spot,” said the man wearing a traditional Nepali topi hat. He is staying with 11 family members in a classroom where multiplication tables are posted on the walls. Families sleep on school benches with barely any belongings. He sits silently, while his wife, also in her 70s, wipes her eyes behind him. One of his daughters sobs uncontrollably. “We have lost everything,” he said. “But everyone is alive. Should I be happy or sad?” Header image: People stand next to damaged buildings following the deadly flash floods and a mudslide, in Devighat, Nuwakot district, Nepal on September 4, 2026. —Reuters

Venezuela Depremlerinde Ölü Sayısı 3 Bine Yaklaştı, Gazze'de Ateşkes İhlalleri Artıyor
Venezuela’da 24 Haziran’daki depremlerin ardından resmî ölü sayısı 2.954’e, yaralı sayısı 16.592’ye yükseldi; yaklaşık 16 bin kişi evsiz kaldı. Kalabalık barınaklarda temiz suya erişim olmaması ve hastanelerin yetersiz kalması, salgın hastalık riskiyle birlikte ciddi bir sağlık krizine işaret ediyor. Öte yandan Gazze’de ateşkes ihlalleri devam ediyor. İsrail saldırılarında son 24 saatte en az 19 Filistinli hayatını kaybetti, toplam can kaybı 73.400’e yaklaştı. Saldırılar sağlık tesislerini tahrip ediyor; Dünya Sağlık Örgütü, bir hava saldırısında tıbbi malzemelerin imha edildiğini belirterek hastanelerin korunmasını talep etti. Türkiye, Mısır ve Katar, İsrail’in sağlık altyapısını hedef alan ve sivil kayıplara yol açan eylemlerinin uluslararası hukuku ihlâl ettiğini ve ateşkesin ikinci aşamasını tehlikeye attığını vurgulayarak kınadı. Her iki krizde de sağlık sistemlerinin çöküşü, uluslararası toplumun acil müdahalesini gerektiriyor.
