What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A flash flood surged through Khalte village in Rasuwa District, Nepal, on August 26. The village, a temporary settlement established after the 2015 earthquake, was wiped out due to homes being clustered along the Trishuli River. At least 375 people were reported missing from the destroyed village, which is part of a larger disaster that has killed over 1,400 people in Nepal's mountainous border region with China.
