One Month After Nepal Floods: Over 1,400 Dead and Thousands Missing
A month after the devastating flash floods in Nepal's central and northern regions, at least 1,453 people have died and 5,285 remain missing. The floods, originating near the Nepal-Tibet border on August 26, caused widespread destruction, including damage to hydropower projects and homes. Rescue efforts have saved nearly 13,800 people, with over 1,100 currently in holding centers. Identification of many recovered bodies remains challenging, with authorities relying on DNA profiling. The disaster has displaced tens of thousands and is expected to require years and billions of dollars for recovery.
