Amitabh Bachchan says visuals from Nepal floods are unbearable to watch: ‘Fury of nature can never be battled’
- On August 26, massive flash floods struck Nepal, killing more than 600 people and leaving more than 1,500 missing across Nepal and Tibet while destroying infrastructure and crippling a dozen hydropower projects.
- A Himalayan glacial collapse on Wednesday is believed to have triggered the floods, while academics warn that climate change increases such risks in a region warming nearly twice as fast as the global average.
- Search and rescue operations continue with 7,451 security personnel mobilized, though Nepal has declined foreign assistance for these efforts while India dispatched more than 10 tonnes of relief material including medicines and tents.
- Nepal Finance Minister Swarnim Wagle stated the country requires "a few billion dollars" for reconstruction efforts as the $45 billion economy faces a massive challenge to recover from widespread destruction.
- Authorities issued fresh flood warnings on August 28 after water levels increased at the disaster site, as shrinking glaciers threaten water security for up to 1.65 billion people downstream amid persistent climate risks.
