A devastating flash flood and mudslide on August 26, 2026, at the Nepal-Tibet border killed at least 95 people and left many others, including 17 Malaysians, missing. The disaster struck the popular travel and religious destination, causing walls of water and mud to crash against buildings. CCTV footage captured the terrifying moments as people tried to escape the flooding.
Chinese President Xi Jinping described the incident as very serious, and Nepal's foreign minister attributed the floods to an earthquake-triggered landslide, marking it as the country's worst natural disaster since 2015. The Malaysian Embassy in Kathmandu confirmed that 17 Malaysians were listed as missing, amid reports of 100 people from India, 47 American tourists, and 33 British nationals also unaccounted for.
The embassy is coordinating with local authorities and search and rescue teams to locate the missing Malaysians and ensure their safety. Malaysians in the affected areas were advised to remain vigilant and follow instructions from local authorities while updating their contact details through the e-Konsular portal.
