Increasing casualties from Himalayan floods
The floods and avalanches in the Himalayan mountains have resulted in the death of more than a thousand people, as search and rescue operations continue in Nepal and China under difficult weather and geographical conditions. Nepalese authorities announced the recovery of 987 bodies, and more than 3,900 people remain missing. In China, 16 deaths have been recorded, with 546 others reported missing, bringing the preliminary total number of victims to 1,003 deaths and 4,462 missing persons. Rescue efforts are focused on a tunnel submerged in water and mud, with teams from China, India, and South Korea participating in excavation and debris removal. Bodies are being buried after samples of DNA are collected. The disaster has sparked widespread anger in Nepal and international calls to address the impacts of climate change, as scientists warn of an accelerated melting of glaciers due to rising global temperatures.
