The Indian government has dispatched emergency supplies and essential medicines to Nepal, following devastating floods that have claimed more than 50 lives. External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar expressed condolences and pledged support for the nation in its time of crisis. Scientists are investigating whether an ice-rock avalanche triggered the sudden flood in Nepal's Lende Khola tributary, which led to an unusual surge of water, sediment, and large boulders downstream. The floodwaters have reportedly swept away entire villages, leaving hundreds missing or stranded. Nepali authorities are conducting search and rescue operations, while also assessing damage to electricity projects and infrastructure. Union Home Minister Amit Shah has expressed sympathy for the disaster and shared that he has spoken with Bihar and Uttar Pradesh chief ministers regarding potential impacts on border areas. Meanwhile, Chinese authorities report three deaths and 265 missing after a mudslide in Tibet's Gyirong region. Additionally, a group of 65 tourists from West Bengal, India, remains stranded amid the ongoing crisis in Nepal. The flood-affected families are being provided temporary shelter, food, water, and medical assistance, with rescue operations continuing overnight.
