Edited [Regnum] The death toll from a powerful landslide in Nepal has risen to 1,252, China Central Television reported on September 3, citing Nepalese police. The day before, 1,127 casualties were reported. Chinese journalists, citing Nepalese authorities, report that rescue teams are continuing search operations in flood-affected areas. They are recording additional casualties from the natural disaster. A devastating rock and ice avalanche in Nepal was triggered by an earthquake on the morning of August 26. The local Lhende River was blocked, causing water to overflow its banks and flooding areas downstream of the Bhote Koshi and Trisuli rivers. Large-scale flooding also affected China's Tibet Autonomous Region. The fate of nearly 4,200 people, including 592 foreigners, remains unknown. |
