The official death toll in Nepal from the floods that hit the country on the Tibet border has risen to 475. The death toll continues to rise as search and rescue operations continue in the affected regions.

Chinese authorities had anticipated the occurrence of another phenomenon in the areas near the border, suggesting that there were warnings about adverse weather conditions before the tragedy occurred in Nepal.

Nepalese police ordered the evacuation of populations in at-risk areas as a preventive measure to try to reduce the number of victims in the face of the flood threat.

The article indicates that the natural disaster caused a high number of fatalities and that authorities from both countries are dealing with the consequences of this phenomenon that especially affected the border region between Nepal and Tibet.
