A massive flood and debris surge struck the China-Nepal border in Tibet, with terrifying CCTV footage showing people fleeing as floodwaters and debris overwhelmed Gyirong Port.

The disaster followed a reported ice-rock avalanche/glacial collapse near the Lhende Khola, sending huge amounts of water, mud and debris downstream toward the China-Nepal border and Nepal’s Rasuwa district.

Chinese authorities launched rescue operations in the affected Tibetan region, while Gyirong County and Gyirong Port were severely impacted. The disaster has also triggered a major search for missing people on both sides of the border.

The exact mechanism behind the flooding remains under investigation. Current reporting points toward an ice-rock or glacial collapse that blocked the Lhende Khola, rather than definitively confirming a conventional glacial lake outburst flood.

The death toll on the Nepal-Tibet border has climbed from 7 to 389 in under 48 hours, and more than 900 people are still unaccounted for. Bodies are being recovered over 100 kilometers downstream, and Chinese authorities have now warned that a second barrier lake is filling upstream of the same valley.

An ice and rock avalanche dammed the Lhende Khola on Wednesday morning. When the blockage failed, the surge travelled the first 22 kilometers at an average speed of 193 kilometers per hour. Villages, the Rasuwagadhi border crossing, five hydropower plants and 42 kilometers of road were destroyed. Among the 517 foreign nationals missing are 177 Indians, 63 Americans, 34 Australians, 33 Britons and 25 Canadians, most of them travelling the Kailash Mansarovar pilgrimage route. Rescue teams have flown out over 1,400 people, but many communities remain reachable only by helicopter.

Figures as of August 28, 2026. Numbers are still changing.
