A massive flash flood triggered by a glacier collapse at the Nepal-Tibet border on Wednesday morning has killed at least 389 people, with the death toll climbing to almost 400 12. The disaster has left more than 1,300 people missing, with about 1,400 yet to be accounted for, including hundreds of foreign citizens and pilgrims 12. The flood also formed a barrier lake, which Chinese officials warn could have an inflow of about 3 million cubic meters over the next three days due to rainfall, posing a high risk of bursting and threatening downstream areas such as the Gyirong Port 2. Rescue teams and military helicopters are currently searching the border mountains for missing people 2.
Among the missing are 39 Australians, including 15 individuals trekking as part of the Himalayan Glacier Adventures tour and 11 Australians among a group of 80 missing pilgrims 1. Specific missing Australians include Shylaja Muralitharan, 42, her husband Chandrasekaran Muralitharan, 47, and their two sons Ashwin, 14, and Aarush, 11, as well as Venkatraman Balakrishnan, 52, and his wife Chitra Venkatraman, 46 1. Additionally, Sreedharan and Lakshmi Iyer, along with their adult sons Rishab, 23, and Rudhra, 20, are unaccounted for 1. Relatives based in Sydney are anxiously waiting for news of their loved ones 1. In response, Penny Wong said the Australian government is rapidly mobilizing consular and humanitarian support, and would send an initial team of three humanitarian response specialists to the region within the next 48 hours 1.
