Floods and landslides triggered by heavy rains have left over 1,500 people missing in the Nepal-Tibet border region, with more than 360 confirmed dead. The disaster struck suddenly, sweeping through remote mountain villages and cutting off access to many areas. Rescue teams are working tirelessly in the challenging terrain, but the scale of the catastrophe has made it difficult to reach all affected zones.
Among those missing are nine Singaporeans, according to local reports. The number of missing persons includes many nationalities, with Australians also reported missing. Families in Australia and Singapore are anxiously awaiting news as authorities continue to assess the full impact of the disaster.
The death toll is expected to rise as search operations continue. Officials warn that the figures may change due to challenges in identifying bodies and matching them with missing persons. The region remains in a state of emergency, with local authorities and international aid groups coordinating relief efforts.
The floods have caused widespread destruction, with entire communities isolated and infrastructure damaged. The situation highlights the vulnerability of mountainous regions to sudden natural disasters.
