Approximately 1,500 people were killed and more than 5,000 remained missing after the Nepal floods of 2026. The floods, which were associated with the partial collapse of a nearby mountain glacier, devastated a number of communities along the upper reaches of the Bhote Koshi river system in Nepal. Nepali officials estimated the economic cost of the flood and the recovery effort that followed at nearly $4.8 billion.
