Nepal Flash Flood Death Toll Reaches 734 Amid Ongoing Rescue Efforts

The death toll from flash floods in Nepal rose to 734 by August 30, 2026, with 2,498 people still reported missing after five days of disaster.

Combined with 16 deaths and 546 missing in Tibet, the total regional toll stands at 750 dead and 3,044 missing, including 261 foreign nationals.

Rescue operations are currently hampered by heavy rains and the formation of a new barrier lake near the Gyirong border port, forcing personnel to relocate.
