Nepal Seeks Billions in Technical Aid, Shifts From Rescue as 3,000 Remain Missing

Nepal's foreign minister has requested billions in technical assistance rather than further search-and-rescue support, Reuters reports, as operations were temporarily halted with nearly 3,000 still missing from Bhote Koshi River flash floods that began August 26. The Hindu reports 586 bodies recovered. The shift signals recovery even as the missing remain unaccounted for.
