A month after catastrophic floods struck Nepal, 5,285 people remain missing and more than 1,100 are still in holding centres, according to Al Jazeera English. The disaster killed more than 1,400 people, Deutsche Welle reported, while survivors continue searching for relatives and the remains of homes and communities.
Nepal is also confronting a new emergency after an avalanche hit the base camp of the 7,126-metre Himlung Himal near the Tibetan border on Sunday morning. Two climbing guides were found dead, and at least 14 people were reported missing after days of heavy rain and snowfall.
The Nepal National Mountain Guide Association said 14 kitchen workers and two climbing guides from several expedition companies had initially been missing. The guides were later found dead. Local police said at least 22 people had been at the base camp, but officials and trekking operators said the number of missing and surviving workers remained uncertain because the remote area had been cut off from communications.
Search-and-rescue operations were underway. Severe weather has disrupted roads and trekking routes across Nepal, prompting authorities to suspend climbing and trekking on several mountains.
