Filed · 3 publisher pages · upstream origin unresolved

Nepal's flood death toll has surpassed 900 as search efforts continue for over 4,700 missing people, with mass burials sparking controversy in the country.

Authorities report over 900 deaths and nearly 4,700 missing after catastrophic floods in Nepal and Tibet, with rescue operations entering their sixth day. Mass graves have raised concerns in a predominantly Hindu nation where cremation is customary.

The floods, linked to a glacial collapse in the Himalayas, have caused widespread destruction, with rescue teams struggling to reach stranded individuals and recover bodies amid ongoing recovery efforts.

Differences in reported figures and causes of the disaster highlight the complexity of the situation, with conflicting accounts of the exact number of missing people and the origin of the flood event.
