Nepal is facing a massive humanitarian crisis after devastating flash floods killed at least 1,003 people and left around 4,000 others missing.
The disaster, triggered by an ice and rock collapse near the Nepal-Tibet border, sent powerful floodwaters through several river valleys, destroying settlements, roads, bridges and hydropower projects.
Chitwan recorded the highest number of deaths at 321, followed by Nawalparasi East with 216 fatalities. Nearly 12,000 people have been rescued, while more than 21,300 security personnel are involved in search and relief operations.
Rescue efforts are being affected by intermittent rainfall and warnings of possible fresh floods. Authorities have issued alerts in vulnerable districts, including Rasuwa and Nuwakot.
The floods have also washed away at least 19 motorable bridges and damaged key highways, disrupting travel and trade routes with China.
Amid the tragedy, Nepal has renewed its call for greater climate support from major greenhouse-gas emitting nations, arguing that the country faces severe climate impacts despite contributing very little to global emissions.
Authorities have also warned people against fake and AI-generated disaster videos circulating online.
