Flood deaths in Nepal and China reach 682
Authorities continue rescue efforts in the affected areas along the Nepal-China border following devastating floods that resulted in 682 deaths, with approximately 3,000 people missing, including hundreds of tourists and workers. The powerful avalanche, initially believed to be a 5.2 magnitude earthquake, caused flooding and landslides, with the situation worsened by climate change. Rescue operations include evacuating those trapped in tunnels and dam construction sites, as infrastructure has been damaged and reconstruction costs have risen to billions. These floods are part of a seasonal phenomenon that recurs during the summer, and their severity is expected to increase due to climate change.
