Scientists are piecing together the factors that led to the disaster, which has also exposed gaps in cross-border information sharing on hazards in the rapidly changing Himalayas.

The Nepali government plans to conduct a geological study of landslide-affected areas in western Nepal, including specific rural municipalities in Rolpa and districts like Jajarkot and Bajura. This initiative, decided by the Monsoon Response Command Post of the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority (NDRRMA), aims to assess risks and guide relief and rehabilitation efforts. The NDRRMA has also directed effective search, rescue, and relief operations for those impacted by monsoon-induced disasters.

A preliminary study by the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority (NDRRMA) suggests an ice-rock landslide near the Nepal-China border may have triggered the devastating flood in the Bhote Koshi River. Satellite imagery indicates the landslide sent debris into the Lhende Khola, which flows into the Bhote Koshi, causing widespread destruction downstream. The flood also impacted China's Tibet region, affecting the Gyirong port and trade routes.

The water level in the Bhotekoshi River has increased again, prompting the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority (NDRRMA) to issue an alert for downstream areas due to risks from mud and debris. Rescue operations along the river have been placed on alert following reports of a dam breach in Tibet, with security personnel instructed to move to safer locations. The government has reported that 3,253 people affected by floods in the Bhote Koshi and Trishuli rivers have been rescued.

Rescuers struggle to reach remote Thawang village after a landslide swept away 11 houses and sheds, with poor road access hampering search efforts.

Nepal is on high alert as heavy to extremely heavy monsoon rains are expected across several provinces, increasing the risk of flash floods, landslides, and inundation. The Department of Hydrology and Meteorology has urged the public to take precautions, with the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority (NDRRMA) activating emergency response mechanisms and positioning heavy machinery for potential debris clearance.

Kathmandu, Aug 30 (SocialNews.XYZ) Nepal's National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority (NDRRMA) has issued a fresh flood warning, saying the flood level in the Bhote Koshi River in Rasuwa has risen further. "All those engaged in search, rescue and relief operations in affected areas, including Rasuwa, Nuwakot, Dhading and Chitwan districts, those staying along the riversides, and all other concerned are requested to remain alert," the authority said in a notice on Sunday morning. According to the Flood Forecasting Division under the Department of Hydrology and Meteorology, the water level in the Trishuli River, downstream of Bhotekoshi in the Galchhi area of Dhading district, has risen 3 metres above usual levels.

Kathmandu, Sep 2 (SocialNews.XYZ) The death toll from the devastating floods in Rasuwa and surrounding districts has crossed the 1,100 mark, according to the latest search, rescue and relief update released by Nepali authorities on Wednesday morning. As many as 1,114 bodies swept away by last week's deadly floods had been recovered by 9 a.m. Wednesday, Nepal's National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority (NDRRMA) said. The highest number of bodies had been recovered in southern Chitwan district, with 348, followed by Nawalparasi East with 217, Nawalparasi West with 190, Nuwakot with 155, Gorkha with 66, Dhading with 59, Rasuwa with 41 and Tanahun with 38.

Buenos Aires, 20 septiembre (NA) -- Al menos 1.451 personas murieron y otras 5.786 permanecen desaparecidas como consecuencia de la devastadora riada que golpeó el norte de Nepal hace 25 días, según informaron este domingo las autoridades de este país asiático, mientras continúan las tareas de búsqueda y rescate. Según informó a través de sus redes sociales la Autoridad Nacional de Reducción y Gestión del Riesgo de Desastres de Nepal (NDRRMA), más de 20.000 integrantes de las fuerzas de seguridad permanecen desplegados en las regiones afectadas para buscar sobrevivientes y recuperar cuerpos. El último balance elevó en 40 la cantidad de fallecidos respecto del informe anterior. Sin embargo, las autoridades advirtieron que establecer una cifra definitiva resulta complejo debido a que 530 de los registros corresponden a partes de cuerpos recuperadas tras el desastre. En paralelo, fueron tomadas cerca de 1.300 muestras de ADN de restos y unas 2.000 de familiares con el objetivo de avanzar en la identificación de las víctimas. Especialistas forenses de India, Corea del Sur, China y Singapur colaboran con las autoridades nepalíes. La nómina de desaparecidos también continúa modificándose a medida que los equipos de emergencia consiguen llegar a las regiones más castigadas. Entre las 5.786 personas cuyo paradero todavía se desconoce, hay 636 extranjeros. Hasta el momento fueron rescatadas unas 13.800 personas, mientras los operativos continúan también en seis proyectos hidroeléctricos, donde se teme que decenas de trabajadores hayan quedado atrapados. La catástrofe, denominada localmente como el “tsunami del Himalaya”, se produjo el 26 de agosto después del desprendimiento de una masa glaciar y rocosa de unos dos kilómetros cuadrados en la montaña Langtang Lirung, a unos 5.200 metros de altura. La posterior riada arrasó miles de viviendas y comercios y provocó graves daños en centrales hidroeléctricas y otras infraestructuras. Las autoridades estiman que la reconstrucción demandará más de 4.700 millones de dólares. El desastre también alcanzó a la vecina región china del Tíbet, donde las autoridades contabilizaron 43 muertos y 519 desaparecidos. Agencia NA
