Story summary

Nepal faced devastating flash floods on August 26, triggered by a glacial collapse in the Himalayas, resulting in over 900 deaths and nearly 5,000 missing people across Nepal and Tibet. Rescue teams from multiple countries, including China, are searching for hundreds of workers believed to be trapped in hydropower tunnels. The disaster has prompted international relief efforts; Australia dispatched a specialized team including 10 personnel from Fire and Rescue NSW as part of an $11 million humanitarian support package. Meanwhile, social media erupted with racist comments towards missing Australians, highlighting tensions within affected communities.
