Nepal Ends Flood Rescue Operation With Over 5,000 People Still Missing

Nepal announced the conclusion of its search and rescue operation following catastrophic floods, releasing official figures on casualties and missing persons. More than 5,000 people could not be located during the operation, according to Nepalese authorities.

Final Toll of the Disaster

The floods have caused widespread destruction across Nepal, affecting communities across the Himalayan nation. Authorities deployed rescue teams to affected areas, but the terrain and scale of the disaster limited the reach of operations.

Nepal is highly vulnerable to flooding, particularly during monsoon season. The government has called for international assistance to support recovery efforts in the affected regions.
