A new provisional count of floods that occurred last week in Nepal, on the border with China, rose to 903 dead, according to information released by the Associated Press news agency.
The floods were caused by heavy rains that hit the region the previous week, resulting in landslides and flooding that affected various areas of the Himalayan country.
Nepalese authorities continue rescue and assistance operations for victims, while emergency teams assess the damage caused by the natural disasters.
Nepal, one of the countries most vulnerable to climate-related disasters, faces increasingly severe consequences from extreme weather events in recent decades.
