Nepal Floods: Death Toll Climbs to 389 as Hard-to-Reach Mountains Slow Rescue

Flash flooding along the Nepal–Tibet border has killed 389, Nepal police say — a sharp rise from 98 reported August 26. Over 1,400 people remain missing, the New York Times reports. Steep mountain valleys and washed-out roads make it hard to search for survivors or count the dead in an area where two different countries' rescue teams must operate side by side.
