South Africa's Department of International Relations and Cooperation (DIRCO) says the search continues for six South Africans in Nepal after flash floods and landslides struck the Nepal-Tibet border region. The disaster followed a glacial collapse in the area, according to SABC News. Efforts to locate the missing South Africans are ongoing as authorities respond to the aftermath of the flooding and landslides in the mountainous border region.

TimesLIVE reports that Nepal’s flood disaster has sharpened concerns about climate change in high-mountain regions, with scientists warning that glaciers are retreating faster and posing growing risks to inhabited areas.

The report, published on September 8, 2026, frames the situation as a major natural disaster in the region, with identification of victims continuing and a large number of people still unaccounted for.
