KATHMANDU, Nepal — The death toll from devastating floods and debris flows along the Nepal-Tibet border has risen to at least 584, as rescue teams continue searching for hundreds of people still missing.
Nepalese authorities have reported 579 deaths, while Chinese state media has confirmed another five fatalities in Tibet.
Nearly 2,000 people remain missing across Nepal and Tibet, although authorities are continuing to verify and update the figures as rescue and recovery operations progress.
The disaster was triggered by a massive collapse of glacial ice, rock and debris in the Himalayan region, sending a powerful surge through river valleys and surrounding communities. The United States Geological Survey has described the event as Nepal’s deadliest disaster since the devastating 2015 earthquake.
The floods have caused widespread destruction, damaged infrastructure and disrupted communities along the border. Rescue workers are facing difficult conditions as they search for survivors and recover bodies from affected areas.
Authorities in India have also recovered seven bodies from rivers flowing from Nepal. Officials believe the victims may be linked to the disaster, but their identities have not yet been confirmed. Those deaths have not been included in the current Nepal-Tibet death toll.
The International Red Cross estimates that at least 93,000 people are in urgent need of assistance following the disaster.
Rescue and relief operations remain underway, with authorities warning that the full scale of the destruction and loss of life may not be known until search teams reach some of the hardest-hit areas.
