At least 547 people are confirmed dead and more than 900 are missing after catastrophic flash floods struck Nepal on Wednesday.[^1]

A second report puts the injured count at 1,473, with the missing figure above 900.[^2] The two accounts agree closely on the death toll and on the scale of the disaster, which the available reports describe as affecting northern Nepal.

The read here is that the breadth of the missing figure - nearly as large as the confirmed death toll - suggests the final count of fatalities could move substantially as search and recovery work continues. The facts on hand do not say how many searchers are deployed, what infrastructure was damaged, or when access to affected areas might be restored.
