The Nepal flood disaster has caused a major humanitarian crisis, with thousands of people still missing.
Chinese state media earlier reported 16 deaths in Tibet following Wednesday’s disaster. It also reported 546 people missing in the region.
The combined figures pushed the overall toll to 919 deaths and 4,793 missing people. The disaster has affected several areas along the river system.
Nepal’s disaster authorities reported thousands of missing people in their latest update. The figures include both Nepali citizens and foreign nationals.
According to the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority, 592 foreigners are listed as missing. The figure reflects the scale of the disaster and its impact on communities and visitors.
The missing list also includes 933 workers employed on hydropower projects. These workers were stationed along the river when the powerful torrent swept through the area.
Nepal’s disaster agency reported 3,655 missing citizens in its Monday morning update. Officials continue efforts to establish the whereabouts of those unaccounted for.
Nuwakot district has recorded a sharp increase in its missing-person figure. The number rose to 1,158 from 115 reported on Sunday.
Rasuwa district has also reported a significant number of missing people. Authorities said another 562 people remain unaccounted for there.
The missing persons include members of Nepal’s security and government services. At least 45 Nepali Army soldiers are among those listed.
The list also includes 38 police and armed police officers. Nineteen customs and immigration officers are also reported missing.
Rescue teams are continuing efforts to locate survivors and recover victims. Difficult terrain and damaged infrastructure are creating challenges for emergency operations.
The Nepal flood has also had consequences beyond Nepal’s borders. Authorities in India’s Uttar Pradesh state have recovered several bodies from rivers.
Officials said 17 bodies were recovered from rivers flowing from Nepal. They are believed to be victims of the flooding.
Indian authorities are working to identify the recovered bodies. The 17 deaths have not been included in the reported disaster toll.
The situation remains fluid as authorities continue gathering information. Officials are expected to revise the figures as rescue teams reach affected locations.
The large number of missing people has complicated the assessment of the disaster. Authorities are coordinating search efforts across several affected districts.
The Nepal flood has also affected workers at major hydropower projects. The presence of hundreds of workers along the river increased the potential impact of the disaster.
Families are waiting for information about relatives who remain unaccounted for. Rescue agencies are continuing searches in areas hit by the torrent.
The rise in missing persons in Nuwakot has also raised concerns. Authorities are working to verify reports and update official records.
The overall disaster has affected Nepal and nearby regions. The recovery process is expected to remain difficult because of the scale of the destruction.
Officials are using available information to identify missing people and victims. They are also working with local authorities and emergency teams.
The Nepal flood disaster has highlighted the risks faced by communities living near major rivers. Hydropower workers and travelers were also caught in the disaster.
Authorities are expected to provide further updates as rescue operations continue. The final death toll could change as more areas become accessible.
For now, thousands remain missing across the affected regions. Rescue teams continue their efforts to locate survivors and account for those still untraced.
