Flash floods in Nepal: 320 Indians missing
MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said 96 Indian nationals who were stranded on the Chinese side have safely crossed over to Nepal by land route
Nepal's finance minister Swarnim Wagle has warned that the losses from recent flash floods could reach "a few billion dollars" as the country seeks a distinct fundraising approach for rebuilding efforts. According to Bloomberg Television, the preliminary estimates suggest that the total damages will amount to at least a few billion dollars, once determined within a week.
The disaster, which claimed at least 547 lives in the border region between Nepal and Tibet, has prompted the country to request international funding for reconstruction, as its $45 billion economy grapples with the immense task ahead.
