Nepal Flash Flood Death Toll Jumps to 389 as Remote Terrain Hampers Rescue

Nepal police confirmed 389 killed in flash flooding along the Nepal–Tibet border, up sharply from an initial 98 reported August 26. Over 1,400 remain missing, per the New York Times. Steep Himalayan valleys and destroyed access routes are slowing casualty verification and search efforts across a transnational disaster zone spanning two separate rescue infrastructures.
