About eighty-five Americans remain missing following a devastating flood in Nepal. Authorities confirmed seven hundred eighty-one deaths after the disaster swept through villages. Nine Americans have been evacuated, and no US nationals are reported dead. The United States and Canada will each provide three point six million dollars in aid. This funding will support road repairs and aid delivery to remote areas.

The US Geological Survey (USGS) said the disaster was caused by a glacial collapse that triggered a vast flow of icy debris.
