On the morning of August 26th, a glacier gave way above Kyirong, on the Tibetan side of the border. The water and debris tore down through Rasuwa, then Nuwakot, taking villages, bridges, and hydropower stations with it, down the Bhote Koshi and into the Trishuli. As of this writing, according to Nepal’s National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority, more than 350 people are confirmed dead in Nepal, with over 800 still missing. Three more are dead in Tibet, with hundreds unaccounted for.
