NEPAL FLOODS: UK PM Andy Burnham Vows Support as Death Toll Surges | Times Now World
Aug 28, 2026
Britain has offered search-and-rescue teams and financial support to Nepal after catastrophic flooding killed at least 273 people and left more than 1,300 missing, including hundreds of foreign nationals. UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham said Britain would stand by Nepal "in its hour of need," while British authorities established 24/7 consular support in Kathmandu after 33 British nationals were reported missing. Nepal's Tourism Board said 517 foreigners were among those unaccounted for, including nationals from India, the United States, the United Kingdom and several other countries. The disaster followed the collapse of a glacier near the Nepal-Tibet border, sending a powerful surge of water and mud through communities.
