Nepal-China Flood Casualty Count Reaches 1,410, Over 5,650 Still Missing

The casualty count from the major flood in the Nepal-China border region has risen to 1,410 people after 10 more bodies were found, according to Anadolu Ajansi. Over 5,650 people are still missing, as reported by the same source. The flood, which struck the region on September 9, 2026, has caused widespread destruction, with rivers overflowing and landslides blocking roads. Rescue teams from Nepal and China are working to locate survivors and recover bodies in the affected areas. Tass reported a death toll of 1,374, citing official statistics. This figure differs from the 1,410 casualties cited by Anadolu Ajansi. The discrepancy highlights the challenges in coordinating and verifying casualty data during large-scale disasters. Both sources attribute the flood to heavy monsoon rains and geological instability in the region.
