The China Academy of Sciences concluded that the flood causing over 800 deaths and 3,044 missing persons at the Nepal-China border originated from a natural glacier collapse in Nepal. ^[1] The floods in Nepal and Tibet have claimed over 1,200 lives to date, with thousands still missing, including two Dutch nationals. ^[2] Two male workers were rescued alive from the Trishuli-3 hydroelectric power plant tunnel in Nepal nine days after the floods. ^[3] On the Chinese side of the border, the torrent covered 0.7 square kilometers and destroyed 27 buildings and facilities in the Gyirong border complex. ^[4] The ice mass descended to 4,000 meters, generating a flow of mud, rocks, and debris that traveled 22 kilometers in six minutes to reach the Gyirong border pass at 1,800 meters. ^[5] A glacial lake outburst on August 26 caused a catastrophic flow of water, ice, and debris that flooded several valleys in the region. ^[6] Two Nepalese ministers reported the successful rescue operation on Friday. ^[7]
