Nepal Flood Deaths Reach 1,357

The devastating floods that hit Nepal last week along the border with China have resulted in the death of 1,357 people and left more than 5,300 others missing. Rescue efforts are still underway, with authorities focusing on saving those trapped in hydroelectric project tunnels, with an estimated 900 people missing, including 121 individuals trapped in the tunnels. The disasters have destroyed approximately 7,500 homes, and the country has suffered losses amounting to nearly $2.56 billion. Challenging rugged terrain and collapsing roads have hampered search operations, while rescue teams are collaborating with experts from China, India, and South Korea. The government anticipates that recovery and reconstruction costs will exceed $5 billion.
