Death toll rises in Nepal flash floods, about 2,500 missing
Deadly flash floods struck Nepal and Chinese-controlled Tibet on Wednesday, sweeping away entire communities. Officials say the death toll continues to climb, with roughly 2,500 people still missing across both areas.
Nepali authorities have reported that the death toll from Wednesday's flash floods continues to rise. The floods struck communities in both Nepal and neighboring Tibet, which is administered by China.
According to officials, approximately 2,500 people remain missing across the two affected areas. The force of the floodwaters was strong enough to wash away entire communities, leaving widespread destruction in its wake.
Search and rescue operations are ongoing, though the full scale of casualties remains unclear as authorities continue to assess the damage on both sides of the border region.
