At least 1,127 people died and 4,850 remain missing in Nepal, according to the latest report from Nepali police. Authorities updated these figures on Wednesday, as one week passes since the devastating flood that hit the country.
The flood wiped out entire populations in the northern and central regions of Nepal, leaving a scene of massive destruction. The disaster triggered a humanitarian crisis of great proportions, with thousands of people affected.
Nepalese authorities continue search and rescue operations, but hopes of finding survivors among the nearly 5,000 missing diminish as the days pass. The international community has been providing assistance to Nepal given the magnitude of the catastrophe.
