Flood deaths in Nepal and China reach 1,375
The death toll from the floods and landslides that swept through border areas between Nepal and China has risen to 1,375. In Nepal, 1,344 people have been killed, and another 4,898 are still missing. Meanwhile, in the Tibet region of China, 31 people have died, and 531 others are missing, bringing the total number of missing persons to 5,429. These disasters have destroyed towns and villages and damaged infrastructure following an avalanche on August 26, which caused a torrent of ice, rocks, and mud to flow through the Trisuli River.
