At least 75 killed and hundreds missing after flash floods in Nepal and China
NPR places the Nepal-China border disaster in the wider context of extreme-weather exposure and climate change. Since the flood surge struck on August 26, reported casualties have risen sharply and many foreign travelers remain unaccounted for. The destruction of roads, power facilities and border infrastructure has transformed a local Himalayan hazard into an international rescue and supply-chain crisis.
