Flash floods hit Nepal on August 26 after a glacial collapse or landslide unleashed surges along the Bhote Koshi and Trishuli rivers, leaving at least 165 dead and hundreds missing, including foreign tourists from India, the US, Australia, Britain, and Canada. Widely shared videos claim elephants are saving flood victims now, but they actually show trained elephants aiding tourists during the 2017 floods in Sauraha, Chitwan. A real recent event saw five wild elephants, including calves, swept into India and rescued by officials, with adults protecting the young. Rescue helicopters and international aid continue as Nepal searches for survivors.
