Nepal Restarts Search for 3000 Missing After Floods
Nepalese authorities have announced the resumption of search and rescue operations for around 3,000 missing persons, after a temporary halt due to bad weather. This follows devastating floods that resulted in at least 669 deaths in Nepal and 7 in the Tibet Autonomous Region of China. The floods caused avalanches and landslides, with mudslides sweeping away buildings, bridges, and power stations, leading to widespread damage and difficulties in reaching affected areas. The authorities are in need of international assistance and are seeking funding estimated between $4 billion and $5 billion for reconstruction. Meanwhile, efforts to find the missing continue amid challenging geographic and climatic conditions.
