6-Year-Old Girl in Nepal Rescued From Collapsed Building Days After Destructive Flash Flood
A six-year-old girl was rescued alive from a collapsed building in Nepal after deadly flash floods struck areas near the Nepal-China border.
On Friday, August 28, 2026, the child was pulled from the mud at the Timure border patrol post after being trapped inside the damaged building two days after the powerful flash floods hit the border area.
The child was pulled from the mud at the Timure border patrol post after being trapped inside the damaged building. Members of Nepal’s Armed Police Force were searching for the area when they heard a child crying.
Soldiers quickly worked through the debris and mud and were able to reach the girl and bring her to safety. The rescue gave hope to families still waiting for news of their loved ones. Many people remain missing after the sudden floods swept through communities, roads, and buildings in the area.
The disaster has caused a huge loss of life, with more than 600 people reported dead and thousands still unaccounted for. Rescue teams have continued searching through mud and damaged structures in an effort to find survivors and recover those who remain missing.
Among those still being searched for are 42 Australians who have been reported missing following the disaster. Families and friends are anxiously waiting for updates as rescue operations continue.
Authorities and rescue workers are also facing the possibility of more flooding as they work in areas already badly affected by the disaster. Heavy rain and unstable conditions could make rescue efforts more difficult and put more communities at risk.
Rescue teams remain focused on searching every possible location for people who may still be alive beneath the rubble and mud.
