Thousands still missing as Nepal-Tibet flood relief and recovery intensifies
Thousands of people remain missing after a catastrophic flash flood along the Nepal-Tibet border a week ago, as rescuers scramble to reach anyone who may be alive even as they turn to recovery. At least 1,114 people have died in Nepal and nearly 4,000 more are missing, according to Nepal's disaster agency. On the Tibetan side, the death toll stands at 16, and more than 500 people are unaccounted for, Chinese state media reports. The UN's humanitarian agency has said the response is entering a new phase, with authorities intensifying relief and recovery operations. In Nepal, efforts continue to rescue workers, potentially in the hundreds, believed to be trapped in hydroelectric station tunnels.
