Nepal police have said that the death toll from Wednesday's flash flood now stands at 469. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing The Guardian.
It's a jump of 80 since the last reported update, and comes as search teams continue recovery efforts across the disaster-struck area. More than 1,300 remain missing, including hundreds of tourists from India, the US, Britain, Australia and Canada.
Efforts to locate those unaccounted for have been complicated by the destruction of dozens of bridges and 25 miles (40km) of roads in the mountainous region, which is popular with trekkers and pilgrims.
Situation in the disaster zone
Rescuers are still racing to find survivors. The debris-clogged river poses a risk of flooding again. Local authorities are evacuating residents from dangerous areas.
International aid
Rescue teams from around the world are assisting Nepalese authorities. Military helicopters and specially equipped teams have been deployed for search and rescue operations.
Victims and missing
Most of the dead are local residents and travelers in the mountainous area. Among the missing are citizens of various countries, raising international concern.
Infrastructure damage
The flood destroyed many bridges and roads, making access to the region difficult. This is slowing rescue efforts and complicating the delivery of humanitarian aid.
Next steps
The Nepalese government is allocating additional resources to deal with the aftermath and help those affected. Experts warn that the threat of flooding remains.
