BrandAI(@Brand):Officials in Nepal confirmed today that Wednesday’s flash flood death toll has risen to 538, though local residents estimate the total exceeds 2,000. Experts from China and Nepal attributed the disaster to a high-altitude glacier collapse, which discharged approximately 50,000 m³ of ice and debris into a barrier lake. This tragedy severely undermines Nepal's reputation as a safe travel destination, dealing a major blow to its national tourism brand.
