By Tuesday, the death toll in Nepal had reached 1,010, with approximately 4,000 people still missing, including nearly 600 foreigners from 39 countries. [^1]

The disaster was triggered by a glacial collapse that swept ice, mud, rocks, and torrential water through a valley in Nepal, destroying entire settlements. [^2]

The number of deaths from catastrophic floods in Nepal and China exceeded 1,000 as rescue operations entered their seventh day on Tuesday. [^3]

Prime Minister Balendra Shah said the disaster's link to climate change must be strongly raised with the international community. [^4]

The death toll from flash floods in Nepal and Tibet rose to 1,243 on Wednesday, with 4,875 people still missing according to Nepal Police. [^5]

Nepal's Foreign Minister Shisir Khanal stated that the event was not a common flood but a disaster with tornado-like speed, which many correctly call a 'Himalayan tsunami'. [^6]

Among the missing people, 583 are foreigners, and nearly 100 Chinese nationals remain unaccounted for in Nepal. [^7]

Data released by the Independent Power Producers' Association, Nepal (IPPAN) showed 947 people from various hydropower projects remained unaccounted for. [^8]
