Initial information from the flood rescue operation in Timure, Rasuwa district, Nepal, indicated that 98 bodies were recovered from a single location, though official confirmation of the number and identities was still pending. ^[1] A magnitude 5 earthquake struck Tibet in early September 2026, as reported in a DH Online news brief. ^[2] Because the recovered bodies are in poor condition, identification is difficult, and authorities are preparing to use DNA testing and other procedures to identify them. ^[3] It is feared that many people remain missing in the flood-affected areas of Timure and the Nepal-China border region, either swept away by floodwaters or buried under landslide debris. ^[4] The flood and landslides in Timure and areas along the Nepal-China border caused large-scale loss of life and property, according to the report. ^[5] In the week before the earthquake, catastrophic floods on the China-Nepal border killed over 1,000 people in Nepal, according to the same report. ^[6]
