# The death toll from last week’s flash flooding disaster on the border between Nepal and Tibet has now topped one-thousand. The number of people missing has been revised to three-thousand-916, of whom more than 600 are workers believed to be trapped inside mud-filled hydropower tunnels in Nepal. Over on the Chinese Tibet side, at least 16 people have died, and at least 546 are missing. Nepal’s prime minister, Balendra Shah, says the issue of the disasters being experienced is a result of climate change, which needs urgent attention.
