Nepal Asks for Rebuilding Aid as Flood Recovery Begins

Nepal's foreign minister asked for billions to help rebuild — not more search-and-rescue teams — Reuters reports. Rescue work paused with nearly 3,000 people still missing from sudden Bhote Koshi River floods that began August 26. The Hindu reports 586 bodies found. Moving from searching to rebuilding suggests the country is shifting focus, even though many remain unaccounted for.
