Description
Flash floods triggered by a massive glacial collapse near the Nepal-Tibet border have left at least 85 Americans unaccounted for, with nine safely rescued—no U.S. deaths reported yet. The event, initially mistaken for an earthquake, released seismic energy equivalent to a 5.2 quake. Over 800 lives lost, thousands missing. U.S. Embassy in Kathmandu is coordinating rescue efforts, while Washington has deployed $500K in immediate aid and activated $3.6M in humanitarian support for food and shelter. Americans in the region are urged to enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program to stay connected and safe.
