One week after the floods that hit the region, Nepal and China jointly raised the death toll to 1,225 from the catastrophe. Authorities in both countries continue to update the casualty toll as rescue operations progress.
On the Nepal side, emergency teams managed to save 11,993 people in the northern and central regions of the country, the areas most affected by the flooding. Rescue operations continue in these zones with the aim of finding survivors.
More than 21,000 personnel have been mobilized for rescue operations in Nepal, including military, police, and volunteers. These professionals work in difficult conditions to try to locate missing people and provide assistance to affected communities.
The floods were caused by torrential rains that hit the region last week, causing widespread destruction and forcing thousands of people to abandon their homes.
