Death toll from Nepal-Tibet floods rises to 552

Market Impact

KATHMANDU, Aug 28 (Reuters) – The death toll from severe flooding along the Nepal-Tibet border has risen to at least 552, authorities said on Friday. Nepal Police confirmed the fatalities in the country increased to 547 from 538 previously reported, while China’s state media said five deaths were recorded in Tibet following the disaster on Wednesday.

More than 1,400 people remain missing, including hundreds of foreign tourists and travelers who were in the affected areas when the floods struck. Indian authorities also reported finding seven bodies in rivers flowing from Nepal, believed to be linked to the disaster, though identification is still underway. These fatalities are not included in the official death toll.

The flooding, which began earlier this week, has displaced thousands and caused widespread damage to infrastructure in the border regions. Rescue and relief operations are ongoing, with authorities warning of potential landslides and further flooding due to heavy rainfall.

The disaster has drawn international attention, with aid agencies and neighboring countries offering support. Further updates on casualties and recovery efforts are expected as assessments continue.
