Hundreds of tourists and residents remain missing, wide-scale villages have been damaged, and infrastructure is under threat. Local authorities are struggling to identify bodies and reach isolated areas due to the extent of the destruction. The government and military are being criticized for their inability to manage the crisis effectively, amid increasing scrutiny over the lack of organized rescue operations. The escalation has led to the destruction of homes and energy projects, and many people have been forced to move to higher ground.
