Catastrophic flooding in Nepal and Tibet has killed at least 900 people and left more than 4,700 missing. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Associated Press.
On Monday, rescuers were trying to find trapped workers at at least a dozen hydroelectric plant sites. In south-central Nepal's Chitwan district, authorities said they were carrying out temporary burials of unidentified bodies in trenches dug in a forested area as concerns for health risks mount.
