Nepal Flood Disaster: Death Toll Rises to 794 as Search for Thousands Continues
A devastating flash flood disaster in Nepal has claimed at least 794 lives, while more than 2,500 people are still reported missing, according to the latest figures released by Nepalese authorities. Rescue and recovery operations are continuing across several badly affected areas.
The floods have caused widespread destruction, sweeping away homes, roads, bridges and other infrastructure. Rescue teams are facing major challenges because of heavy debris, difficult terrain and unstable weather conditions.
Authorities are also concentrating on hydropower projects, where a large number of workers are believed to be trapped inside blocked tunnels. Specialized teams are working to clear debris and reach those who may still be alive.
The disaster has affected communities on both sides of the Nepal-Tibet border. The situation remains fluid, and casualty figures are continuing to change as search teams reach previously inaccessible locations. Reports later on Monday indicated that the overall death toll across Nepal and Tibet had moved beyond 900, highlighting the rapidly evolving scale of the catastrophe.
Rescue agencies, security forces and international teams are working together to locate missing people and provide assistance to survivors. Authorities have urged people in vulnerable areas to remain alert as the threat of further landslides and flooding remains.
The tragedy has left thousands of families waiting for news of loved ones, while large-scale relief and recovery efforts continue across the affected regions.
