Thousands remain missing after the catastrophic floods, with hundreds believed to be trapped in mining tunnels. At least 85 Americans are still unaccounted for.
Officials now say around 85 Americans remain unaccounted for nearly a week after massive flooding near the Nepal-Tibet border that has killed hundreds of people.
More than 4,400 people remain missing. A private-sector association representing power companies said at least 900 workers were unaccounted for at 12 hydropower projects damaged by the flash floods in Nepal’s Rasuwa and Nuwakot districts.
About 500 of those workers were believed to be trapped in tunnels. At least one expert said that some workers could have access to oxygen, but others warned that the chances of finding survivors were diminishing.
