The death toll from the devastating floods in Nepal has reportedly risen to 900, while around 4,700 people remain missing following the disaster.
Rescue teams have been working around the clock near the Nepal-Tibet border, searching through muddy and debris-filled areas for people who remain unaccounted for after last week’s deadly floods.
According to Nepal’s disaster agency, a large number of people are still missing as emergency workers continue search and rescue operations in areas affected by the disaster.
The agency also revealed that 592 of those reported missing are foreigners, including 85 Americans.
However, at least nine Americans have reportedly been safely evacuated from Nepal since the disaster occurred.
Rescue workers continue to search affected communities as authorities work to establish the full scale of the destruction and locate those still missing.
