Nepal is reeling from devastating floods that have claimed at least 1,259 lives and left over 5,083 people missing. The scale of the disaster is underscored by the discovery of bodies hundreds of kilometers away in India, highlighting the sheer force of the deluge. Recovery efforts are hampered by the extensive damage and the challenging terrain, and the search for remains is expected to be prolonged. Officials estimate the cost of rebuilding could reach billions of dollars, placing a significant strain on the nation’s resources. Nepal is now appealing for "climate justice," arguing that wealthier nations bear a responsibility to help fund reconstruction due to their contribution to climate change, which likely exacerbated the floods. The disaster underscores the vulnerability of the region to extreme weather events and the need for international assistance.
