Nepal ramps up search for missing amid health concerns
The devastating floods that struck Nepal and China have resulted in the death of 682 people, with approximately 3,000 missing in both countries, including hundreds of foreigners. These floods caused economic damages estimated at billions of dollars. The collapse of homes, bridges, and roads led to hundreds of fatalities, compounded by fears of disease outbreaks due to decaying bodies carried by the floodwaters over vast areas. Rescue teams are focused on evacuating survivors, including those trapped in an underground tunnel and construction sites for a dam, amid challenging weather conditions and the risk of landslides. There are ongoing calls for international support for reconstruction.
