A powerful 7.0-magnitude earthquake has devastated Tibet, leaving 16 people dead, 65 injured and hundreds of residents scrambling for safety. The deadly tremor has brought down 339 homes, triggered emergency rescue operations and forced authorities to rush relief teams to the affected areas. With 11 victims reported to be in serious condition and 21 suffering minor injuries, rescue workers are racing against time to assist survivors, inspect damaged buildings and move residents to safer locations. Emergency tents have been set up to shelter those whose homes have been destroyed, as authorities assess the full extent of the devastation. WATCH

Nepal’s catastrophic floods have killed at least 1,050 people, while around 4,000 remain missing nearly a week after the Himalayan disaster. More than 11,000 people have been rescued, but hundreds remain stranded at damaged hydropower sites and nearly 300 workers are believed to be trapped inside tunnels. Rescue teams are using helicopters, heavy machinery and temporary bridges to reach isolated areas, with India, China and other international teams assisting the operation. The disaster has left more than 2.2 million tonnes of debris and caused widespread damage to roads, bridges, power infrastructure and communities across Nepal.
