Search teams in Nepal continue their efforts to locate survivors following catastrophic floods that have left more than 3,000 people missing. The disaster, triggered by a glacial collapse in the Himalayas, has caused deadly torrents to sweep through river systems, impacting both Nepal and Tibet. At least 675 people have been confirmed dead in Nepal, with seven more reported dead in Tibet, bringing the total death toll to 682.
The number of missing persons has risen to nearly 3,000, according to Nepal’s disaster authority. Rescue operations are ongoing as families wait for news of loved ones. Australian authorities have expressed concern for 41 Australians still unaccounted for. The situation remains critical, with officials warning that the risk of further flooding persists until the affected lakes fully drain.
Emergency services are working under challenging conditions, with many areas remaining inaccessible due to the scale of the disaster. The floods have caused widespread destruction, with entire communities displaced and infrastructure severely damaged. International aid is being coordinated to support relief efforts, but the search for survivors continues in a race against time.
