The flash floods that hit the border between Nepal and Tibet have already caused more than 900 dead, according to the updated toll. Rescue teams from both territories continue this Sunday to search for survivors among the rubble and flooded areas.

Thousands of people remain missing after the catastrophe, which affected several communities in the mountainous region. The rescue operation is being hampered by difficult access to several affected areas.

Humanitarian aid is being sent by helicopter to districts that remain isolated due to the floods. Local authorities and international organizations have worked to reach the most vulnerable populations.
