At least 633 people have died in heavy flooding in Nepal and China, with more than 2,000 missing. Rescue teams continue to search for survivors in the affected areas three days after the disaster.
According to authorities, 626 people have died in Nepal and 7 in China. The number of missing people in both countries has reached about 2,880, with the numbers continuing to change as the search continues.
In Nepal, authorities report that 933 workers are missing at the Trishuli 3A hydroelectric power plant, near the border with China. Survivors have also been found in the area, believed to be trapped in the tunnels of the hydroelectric plant. Rescue teams are trying to reach them, but difficult conditions are hampering operations.
According to the Red Cross, about 93,000 people have been affected by the disaster. Rescue teams are facing great difficulties in reaching the affected areas, while the lack of drinking water and supplies is worsening the situation.
Across the border in Tibet, heavy rain, blocked roads and difficult terrain are hampering search and rescue operations. Authorities are also warning of the risk of further flooding.
Floods have caused large accumulations of water, mud, and ice, creating lakes that can overflow or collapse and cause other damage.
