Nepal-China flood disaster has left 750 people dead and 3,044 missing after a catastrophic glacial collapse triggered massive floods and landslides in the Himalayas. Rescue teams are now racing to reach more than 100 workers believed trapped inside hydropower tunnels, as bad weather, rising rivers and fresh flood threats complicate the operation. 

A major rescue operation has brought around 100 Maharashtra pilgrims safely back to India after they were stranded amid devastating flash floods in Nepal. Following a request from the Maharashtra government, the Bihar administration coordinated their evacuation from the Nepal border to Sitamarhi. The pilgrims were provided food, drinking water and essential assistance before being moved to Patna in the early hours of August 29.
