Nepal Floods Kill 600, Missing 2000
Flooding caused by an avalanche in the Himalayan mountains has resulted in the death of more than 600 people in Nepal and the Tibetan region of China, while over 2,000 people remain missing. The disaster has destroyed roads, bridges, and hydroelectric power stations, leading to extensive damage to infrastructure, with estimated losses ranging between $4 billion and $5 billion—equivalent to about one-tenth of Nepal's economy. The United Nations has requested India and China to provide mobile bridges and technical services to support rescue and relief efforts. Meanwhile, officials clarified that Nepal is currently relying on its local teams, although international support is needed to address the situation after the catastrophe.
