The death toll from devastating flash floods in Nepal has risen to 734, with 2,498 people still missing, authorities said on Sunday.
According to Nepal's National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority (NDRRMA), the toll was recorded as of 9:00 local time on Sunday.
Separately, the Nepal Tourism Board said 261 foreign tourists had been rescued as of 18:00 on Saturday, with 320 remain missing.
In Nuwakot, one of the most severely affected areas, rescue teams managed to clear just 50 meters of blocked road between Wednesday and Saturday as they worked toward heavily damaged zones.
With rainfall persisting in recent days, crews have had to stay alert for further secondary disasters and repeatedly move affected residents to safer ground, local rescuers introduced. Large volumes of mud and sediment continue to block access, making the rescue effort extremely difficult.
The catastrophic flash flood, triggered by the collapse of a glacier at a higher elevation, swept through Nepal's Bhote Koshi River on Wednesday morning. The disaster swept through three districts, Rasuwa, Nuwakot, and Dhading, leaving widespread destruction.
