Hundreds Are Missing After Catastrophic Flooding in Nepal Wipes Out Whole Towns As surveillance footage from the Rasuwagadhi border crossing reveals, a devastating flash flood swept through Himalayan mountain towns and villages last week, leaving at least 165 people dead and hundreds more missing.
The images of buses and trucks reduced to rubble, with people screaming as they tried to escape the churning waters, are seared into the memories of those who witnessed them.
The flooding has exposed Nepal's vulnerability to climate change, a problem that researchers have long warned about.
