The Urgent Need
In a still-unfolding disaster, verified videos showed dozens of people swept away at the border, with authorities on both sides fearing far higher casualties and massive destruction.
Houses, roads and power projects were swept away in Nepal, while officials in Tibet said they feared “major casualties” with some missing in the county of Gyirong after a mudslide hit a border land crossing.

“It was a huge gush of mud coming straight towards us. As it got closer, it kept rising higher and higher. When I saw it enter our home, I tried to grab my wife’s hand and take her to the terrace. But she was swept away by the mud,” said Keshav Prasad Baral, a 68-year-old survivor, who was being treated at a small hospital.
A survivor described being saved by clinging to a mango tree as he watched the house where he had been working disappear.
Initial reports suggested that an earthquake in the area could have triggered an avalanche and caused the floods.
A State Department spokesperson said it “is aware of Americans impacted by the floods in Nepal and is closely tracking the situation.”
The region lies on a popular route to Kailash Manasarovar in Tibet, a site visited annually by hundreds of Hindu pilgrims from India and elsewhere, particularly at this time of year.
China’s state broadcaster said three people were killed and 265 others remain missing in Gyirong, the first casualty figures provided for the Chinese side of the border. It said the toll was still being verified and rescue efforts were ongoing.
South Korea separately said that eight of its nationals working on a hydropower plant were missing.

Beijing —
A gas explosion at a coal mine in northern China has killed at least 82 people, according to state media, the country’s deadliest mining disaster in more than a decade.
Rescue efforts are still underway nearly a day after the blast took place, according to state broadcaster CCTV, with emergency teams descending into the Liushenyu coal mine to search for any workers trapped beneath the ground.
The blast happened some 300 meters below ground, according to CCTV. In the aftermath, the explosion site is reported to have filled with water and debris from broken walls. Rescuers are bringing water pipes and kayaks to climb down and access the scene.
But their attempts have been complicated by the fact the underground map provided by the coal mining company and distributed among rescue teams does not match the actual underground condition, state-run Beijing News reported. This has meant rescuers have to search all the tunnels rather than targeting a specific location.
Underground workers are also required to carry a personal GPS tracker, Beijing News reported, but some workers did not have their device with them at the time of the explosion.
Nearly 250 people were working underground at the facility in Shanxi province when the explosion took place Friday evening. At least 201 people were evacuated as of Saturday morning, CCTV reported, adding later in the day that 123 were undergoing treatment in hospital.
Authorities revised down an earlier toll given as 90 on state media, citing confusion at the scene. It remains unclear if there are still workers unaccounted for.
“After the accident, the scene was chaotic,” said the county chief of Qinyuan, where the mine is located, “and the company could not provide a clear count of the number of workers on site, resulting in inaccurate figures reported initially.”
At a press conference held in the city of Changzhi on Saturday evening, Mayor Chen Xiaoyang said that according to preliminary assessment the coal mining enterprise involved committed “major violations of the law.”
Zhang Wenbo, chief of the city’s emergency management bureau, warned that there were further risks ahead.
“During the rescue work…toxic and harmful gas has exceeded the limit for a long time, and there is a risk of secondary disasters,” Zhang said.
Chinese leader Xi Jinping instructed Vice Premier Zhang Guoqing to attend the scene on Saturday evening, according to state media. Zhang is believed to be guiding the emergency response operation as it continues.
A crackdown on illegal mining activities, including falsification of safety monitoring, hidden operations and unclear reporting on the number of people going underground is also believed to be a priority for the country, according to CCTV.
