Nepal-China floods death toll reaches 752 as more than 3,000 remain missing

Kathmandu, Nepal - The death toll from the flood that ripped through the Nepal-Tibet border region has risen to 752, with over 3,000 people still missing, according to updated figures. Rescuers continue to search for survivors amidst the devastation. The Nepali army inserted a pipe into one of the hydropower tunnels to send air, but heavy rain and rising waters make rescue efforts difficult.

India and China are aiding in the rescue operation, sending specialized teams to help. New lakes formed due to landslides pose a threat to rescue operations. Nepal's reconstruction bill could run into billions of dollars, and the country is reaching out to the international community for support.
