A glacier collapsed at roughly 5,200m elevation above the Lhende River, sending ice and rock 1,200m downhill. The debris briefly dammed the river, then released a catastrophic flash flood into Rasuwa, Nuwakot and Dhading districts in Nepal, and Gyirong County and Shigatse in Tibet — the same region much of this catalogue is modelled on, and where our workshop's own community lives.

Thousands dead, injured, or missing, and 19 bridges and roughly 40km of roads destroyed — cutting off the hardest-hit areas and slowing outside rescue and relief exactly when it was needed most. As of September 2, 2026, Nepal's National Disaster Risk Reduction & Management Authority reports 11,993 people rescued to date. The full toll is still being confirmed as reporting continues.

Live conditions: Loading…. Road and bridge access is still severely limited in the worst-hit valleys — check Nepal's National Disaster Risk Reduction Portal for the latest official status before planning any travel to the region.

Nepal's official Prime Minister Disaster Relief Fund is coordinating the government response. The Non-Resident Nepali Association (NRNA) has pledged Rs. 50 million and diaspora chapters worldwide are running active appeals. Oxfam GB, the British Red Cross and Action Against Hunger UK all have live relief appeals running — see CharityWatch's vetted list for more.
