A glacier collapse in the Himalayas has resulted in at least 797 confirmed deaths, with over 3,000 individuals reported missing. The incident occurred on Wednesday and triggered severe flooding along the Nepal-China border, impacting the Trishuli and Bhotekoshi river systems. The flooding swept away villages, roads, and hydropower projects, with some bodies reportedly carried as far as India. In Nepal, hundreds of hydropower workers are unaccounted for, and approximately 93,000 people have been affected. Rescue operations are ongoing, but teams are facing challenges due to collapsed bridges, blocked tunnels, and new landslides.
