Nepal’s disaster agency says death toll in flash floods climbs to 626 with 2,426 people missing in the country

Nepal's disaster agency reports that the death toll from flash floods has climbed to 626, with an additional 2,426 people currently missing in the country. The disaster management authority has warned that the risk of further flooding will persist until two local lakes have fully drained.

Combined reporting indicates that the total death toll across Nepal and Tibet has risen to 675. Authorities continue to monitor the affected regions as ongoing drainage of the vulnerable lakes remains a critical factor in mitigating future risks.
