Nepal death toll tops 1,000; nearly 4,000 still missing

Nepal is grappling with a humanitarian crisis after flash floods have resulted in over a thousand casualties. Rescuers are tirelessly searching for thousands still unaccounted for as continuous rains complicate their efforts. The disaster was triggered by a catastrophic collapse of ice and rock near the Nepal-Tibet border, leading to the inundation of homes and infrastructure by the Bhotekoshi river. Current operations prioritize rescuing workers trapped in power plant tunnels.
