Devastation from Massive Floods in Nepal: Death Toll Hits 788, Over 2,500 Missing; Mass Cremations Underway
Five days have passed since the devastating floods struck Nepal, yet the situation has not returned to normal. The death toll has reached 788, and more than 2,500 people remain missing. Thousands of families are searching for their relatives.
Many bodies recovered after the floods remain unidentified. Mass cremations are being conducted after completing identification procedures and necessary checks. Meanwhile, rescue operations are facing difficulties as water levels have risen again in several areas.
Rescue operations continued in many affected areas on Sunday. So far, approximately 9,435 to 9,500 people have been safely evacuated. However, rising water levels have increased challenges for relief teams. Citizens have been warned to remain alert due to the rising level of the Bhote Koshi River. The Trishuli River has flooded again, and the strong current washed away a bridge.
The collapse of the bridge has cut off around 400 local families. Silt and debris brought by the floods have altered the landscape of many areas. In Rasuwa, numerous houses have been buried under debris. Relief operations and trade had stalled after the main route connecting to the Chinese border was severed. As part of road repair efforts, a 150-meter stretch has been opened for traffic, while work on the remaining section continues.
Families are still searching for their missing relatives. The situation in Nepal remains critical.
