Nepal commenced mass burials Monday for victims of devastating flash floods that swept through the Nepal-Tibet border region last week. The confirmed death toll has now exceeded 900, with fears mounting as over 4,000 people remain missing. Search efforts are ongoing in the remote Himalayan areas, complicated by the challenging terrain and widespread damage. Hundreds of those missing were working at hydropower plants when the floods struck. Authorities in both Nepal and China are coordinating the search and recovery operations. The catastrophic event highlights the vulnerability of infrastructure and communities to extreme weather in the region. The scale of the disaster is prompting concerns about long-term humanitarian needs.
