Death toll from Nepal floods
Flooding occurred in Nepal’s northern regions on the morning of August 26, when a powerful flow of water from China reached the Bhote Kosi River.
The disaster was linked to a glacier collapse and the landslide it triggered. More than 1,300 people were reported to have died in the floods in Nepal.
