Démenties par d’autres sources

  1. Démentie Four bridges have been swept away by the flood in the Gorkha district.

    IA The Times of India headline states that the Budhi Gandaki River washed away 6 bridges in Gorkha, which is incompatible with the claimed figure of four. The other results report bridges swept away but give no number, so they neither confirm nor refute the count.

Faits vérifiés

  1. Confirmée A flash flood washed away houses and bridges along a river in central Nepal.

    IA Multiple results report a flash flood on the Budhi Gandaki river in Gorkha district that swept away dozens of houses and several bridges. The results do not explicitly use the phrase "central Nepal," but Gorkha is described as the affected district, so the location is consistent with the claim. Several of these reports appear to draw on the same local authority assessments, so they are not fully independent.

  2. Confirmée A flash flood damaged a hydropower project along a river in central Nepal.

    IA Several results report a flash flood on the Budhi Gandaki River in Gorkha district, central Nepal, that damaged hydropower projects, including the 341 MW Budhi Gandaki project per ICIMOD. The Rediff and WSYR/NY1 items largely repeat the same AP-style report, but the ICIMOD and Kathmandu Post results add independent support.

  3. Confirmée The Nepali army rescued 49 people from flood-affected areas, as stated on a Sunday.

    IA The KSL report states that the army said a further 49 people, including a foreigner, had been rescued, which matches the claimed number and the army as the rescuing body. The results do not explicitly say the statement was made on a Sunday, so that day-of-week detail could not be checked directly.

  4. Confirmée A camp at a hydropower project along the river was swept away by the flood.

    IA Radio Nepal quotes an official saying the main camp area of the 341-MW Budhi Gandaki hydropower project was swept away by the flood, and another report describes a construction camp at the project being swept away. The results do not give details on whether anyone was affected, but the core claim is supported.

Non vérifiables

Aucune source indépendante ne les a confirmées ni démenties. Cela ne veut pas dire qu’elles sont fausses.

  1. Non vérifiée Five people are still missing after the flood, according to the district's top official.

    IA The results disagree on the missing count: an Al Jazeera headline reports at least five missing, Moneycontrol and Firstpost headlines report four, and Times of India and The Federal quote a different official (Assistant Chief District Officer Netra Prasad Sharma) with 10 missing. The Al Jazeera snippet quotes the Chief District Officer Dharmendra Kumar Mishra but does not explicitly attribute the five-missing figure to him, so the claim's core cannot be confirmed.

  2. Non vérifiée Nearly two dozen houses have been swept away by the flood along the Budhi Gandaki River.

    IA The sources disagree on the number of houses swept away: UPI says more than a dozen, NY Post says about a dozen, and Clickorlando says about three dozen. The reports do not agree on the core figure, so the claim of nearly two dozen cannot be confirmed or contradicted, though all three confirm houses were swept away along the Budhi Gandaki River. The Clickorlando and NY Post figures appear to be relayed from the same agency statements, so they are not independent confirmations.

  3. Non vérifiée Two months before this flood, catastrophic floods and landslides hit Nepal's border towns with Tibet.

    IA The results describe the 26 August 2026 Nepal-Tibet flood, but none of them mentions a flood or landslide in Nepal's border towns about two months earlier. The NBC snippet says the Lhende Khola flooded twice in 14 months, but gives no date for the earlier flood, so the claim's timing cannot be checked.
