The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

The death toll from the Aug. 26 flash floods along Nepal’s Rasuwa district and Tibet’s Gyirong County has surpassed 1,000, with more than 4,400 people still unaccounted for in Nepal and China. Nepal reported at least 1,050 deaths and China 16 as rescue teams used helicopters, dogs and temporary bridges to reach isolated valleys. About 600 people remain stuck at damaged hydropower sites, including workers feared trapped in tunnels flooded by the Trishuli River. Researchers say a glacier collapse and landslide sent water, ice, rock and mud downstream.
