Nepal Floods Leave 1,453 Dead and Over 5,200 Missing One Month Later
A month after the devastating flash floods struck Nepal's central and northern regions on August 26, at least 1,453 people have died and 5,285 remain missing. The floods, originating near the Nepal-Tibet border, caused widespread destruction, including damage to hydropower projects and infrastructure. Rescue operations have saved nearly 13,800 people, with over 1,100 currently in holding centres. Identification of many recovered bodies remains difficult, prompting authorities to use DNA profiling. The disaster also affected Tibet, where 43 deaths were reported.
