Kathmandu, Aug 30: The death toll from flash floods in central Nepal rose to 734 on Sunday, with more bodies being recovered even as nearly 2,500 people are still missing following the disaster.<\/p>\n
Bodies have been recovered from all eight affected districts as rescuers race against time to search for those missing and rescue those stranded on the fifth day since the disaster.<\/p>\n
An ice-rock avalanche following a glacial collapse near the Nepal-Tibet border sent a torrent of water, mud and debris downstream, wiping out towns and villages, damaging crucial infrastructure and washing away hydropower stations through central Nepal on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
\n
\n
The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority said the death toll of the tragedy has surged to 734.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
So far, 259 dead bodies have been recovered from Chitwan, 184 from Nawalparasi East, 82 from Nawalparasi West and 58 from Gorkha districts, the NDRRMA said.<\/p>\n
Similarly, 52 bodies have been recovered from Nuwakot, 50 from Dhading, 36 from Tanahu and 13 from Rasuwa.<\/p>\n
It said that 2,498 people are also missing, including 85 security personnel and 320 foreigners.<\/p>\n
Rescuers have so far evacuated 8,186 people from the affected districts, including 227 foreigners, it said.<\/p>\nDeath Toll Reaches 734 In Nepal Flash Floods<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
