More than 12,000 people have been rescued, but over 5,000 remain missing.
Nepal is urgently working to determine the cause of the disaster and address its aftermath, with support from the international community. The government says it needs assistance in search and rescue, healthcare, logistics, forensic services, and financial support.
According to preliminary assessments, 1.6 million people in 15 administrative areas have been directly affected. Nepal is drawing up plans to relocate residents from high-risk areas, with priority being given to restoring transportation before implementing long-term resettlement programs.
The Nepalese government continues the search for the missing people, but is gradually shifting its focus to relief efforts, resettlement, and infrastructure recovery. The disaster in Nepal has increased concerns about the impact of climate change and the growing risk of natural disasters in the Himalayas.
