In Nepal, a tsunami-like wall of water and debris caused by a glacier collapse affected villages, killing hundreds of people and leaving thousands missing. After the disaster, the number of missing exceeded 2.400, while so far 579 bodies have been found. Rescue teams have so far recovered 584 bodies, and some of them have been carried as far as the Indian border via the river. Nepal's disaster management, in addition to the tourists and pilgrims visiting Kailaz mountain already listed earlier, has also added 933 hydroelectric施工人员 to the missing list.

Rescue operations are underway in the districts amid the risk of new flooding and the threat of collapse of submerged dams; a dam burst risk on the Chinese side has come to the agenda and operations in the Gyirong region of Tibet have been temporarily suspended. The formed large lakes pose a danger with the water level towards the rescue teams, but it is reported that the risk decreases as the level drops. Among the workers in the tunnel of the Trishuli 3A hydroelectric施工项目, 350 people have been taken to safety, while more than 100 people remain trapped in the tunnel and helicopters are being used to extract them. Chinese President Xi Jinping has offered Beijing's assistance to the rescue efforts and is attempting to improve coordination in the disaster area.
