# The death toll from last week’s flash flooding disaster in the Nepal-Tibet border region now stands at 955, with some four-thousand-471 people still unaccounted for. Among the missing are hundreds of workers in hydro project tunnels, underground passages that facilitate the movement of water from hydro projects. Nepal’s prime minister, Balendra Shah, has acknowledged that it was not fully prepared for a disaster of this scale, which is the deadliest for the country since the 2015 earthquake.
