Nepal has officially called off its search and rescue operations for those missing almost 40 days after the catastrophic flash floods tore through the border with Tibet, killing at least 1,455 people which occurred on 26th August, 2026. More than 5,285 people, including hundreds of foreign nationals, missing, those still missing include 33 Britons, 80 Americans, more than 50 Ukrainian nationals, as well as Australians and Indians. 13,795 people have been rescued since the disaster.
Only 112 bodies have been handed to their families following DNA tests. The other 1,333 bodies found so far have been temporarily buried, which are difficult to identify, pending identification.
The flood destroyed 12 hydroelectric projects. More than 800 people employed at the 12 hydropower projects in Nepal were still unaccounted for. Estimated 33,000 people have been displaced.
Nepal Government claims the flood as a "Himalayan tsunami" there is not much scientific evidence to substantiate the claims that the floods were a climate-related catastrophe.
In China, the official death toll was 43, while 519 people, including foreigners, remain missing, according to state media.

मानिसहरूले स्वास्थ्य समस्या, मानसिक तनाव, कानुनी अन्योल वा आर्थिक निर्णय जस्ता विषयमा तुरुन्तै डाक्टर वा विशेषज्ञकहाँ जानुभन्दा पहिले ChatGPT, Gemini जस्ता AI च्याटबोटसँग सोध्ने गरेका छन्। समय, पैसा र पहुँचको अभावले गर्दा यो प्रवृत्ति विश्वभर तीव्र गतिमा बढिरहेको छ। यसले धेरै फाइदा दिए पनि, विज्ञहरूले यसका जोखिमबारे पटक-पटक चेतावनी दिइरहेका छन्।
डाक्टरको सट्टा AI: कति र किन
अमेरिकाको West Health–Gallup केन्द्रले गरेको एउटा राष्ट्रिय सर्वेक्षण अनुसार, चार जनामध्ये एक अमेरिकी वयस्क — करिब ६ करोड ६० लाख मानिस — ले शारीरिक वा मानसिक स्वास्थ्यसम्बन्धी जानकारी वा सल्लाहको लागि AI उपकरण प्रयोग गरिसकेका छन्। धेरैले यसलाई डाक्टरलाई पूर्ण रूपमा प्रतिस्थापन नगरी, भेट्नुअघि वा पछि थप जानकारीको लागि प्रयोग गर्छन्, तर ठूलो संख्यामा मानिस यस्तै मात्र भरमा रहन्छन्। यी मध्ये धेरैले शारीरिक लक्षण (५८%), खानपान वा व्यायामसम्बन्धी जानकारी (५९%), औषधिको साइड-इफेक्ट (४६%), र रोग निदानको अनुसन्धान (३८%) गर्न AI प्रयोग गर्छन्। करिब चार जनामध्ये एकले त मानसिक वा भावनात्मक समस्या खोज्न पनि AI नै प्रयोग गर्छन्। केही ठोस उदाहरण
लक्षण जाँच्ने च्याटबोट: धेरैले शरीरमा कुनै दुखाइ वा असजिलो महसुस हुनेबित्तिकै अस्पताल जानुअघि ChatGPT वा Buoy Health, Ada जस्ता स्वास्थ्य-विशिष्ट च्याटबोटमा लक्षण टाइप गरेर सम्भावित कारण र आवश्यक कदम बुझ्ने गर्छन्।
MrBeast had originally planned to film a video in Nepal a few weeks ago, but that plan was put on hold because of the Bhotekoshi flood.
After postponing the filming plans, he turned his attention to the relief campaign instead. His philanthropic organisation, Beast Philanthropy, is taking part through its “Care Package” social initiative.
The campaign will provide essential relief supplies for those affected, including temporary shelter, solar power, cooking gas and equipment, drinking water, soap, and menstrual hygiene products. He also shared a donation link for those wishing to contribute financially.
Donaldson’s YouTube channel, MrBeast, is the most-subscribed channel in the world, with more than 517 million subscribers.

The flash floods decimated villages, slamming into houses, roads, bridges and power plants. Videos on social media show violent torrents of water surging through valleys and mountain passes, tearing down bridges and dams and sweeping away buildings.
Videos circulated online shows a nonstop moving river of earth rising overtaking very tall fortress like buildings, and erasing everything in its path. People looked smaller than ants and it looked like an apocalyptic event.
Nepal's mountainous terrain, dotted with deep valleys and narrow gorges, makes rescue and relief operations challenging. The flash flood was caused by an earthquake that triggered a large landslide, which blocked the Bhote Koshi River. But the US Geological Survey, which studies earthquakes, has now said that further analysis indicates "that the seismic energy was instead generated by a landslide" by itself Landslides or avalanches can have various triggers. One possibility is that water - either from rainfall or melting ice - may have destabilized the ground or ice Major hydropower and transmission facilities were also damaged in the flooding.
