On Wednesday morning (26 August), catastrophic flash floods triggered by a glacial collapse devastated Nepal's northern Rasuwa district, sweeping away roads, bridges, and power infrastructure.
As of Thursday (27 August), at least 165 people have died and over 1,300 remain missing. Fifty-five Malaysians are currently uncontactable due to severed communication networks. Wisma Putra reports no confirmed Malaysian fatalities and has opened a Putrajaya operations centre alongside active rescue efforts. Rescuers are racing to find survivors while authorities warn of potential secondary floods.
