Hyderabad: The death toll from the devastating flash floods in Nepal crossed 1,000, reaching 1,050 on Tuesday, September 1, 2026, as security forces continued recovering bodies from eight affected districts.
Nearly 4,000 people remain missing, according to Nepal’s National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority (NDRRMA). The missing include 583 foreign nationals and 83 security personnel, officials said.
The massive disaster has triggered large-scale rescue and relief operations across the affected regions. Security forces are continuing searches for survivors and recovering bodies from flood-hit areas.
Nepal Prime Minister Balendra Shah said the flash flood that entered Rasuwa through the Bhotekoshi River, along the border with Tibet, was linked to climate change.
Shah said climate change is a global challenge and stressed that disaster response should also be treated as a global responsibility.
