Nepal flood report counts 5,285 people still missing after a month
An Al Jazeera report says more than 1,100 people also remain in holding centres, but does not specify the figures’ source or scope.
One month after floods struck Nepal, 5,285 people remain missing and more than 1,100 are still in holding centres, according to a report published by Al Jazeera on 27 September.
The figures indicate the scale of unresolved needs a month after the disaster. The report does not identify who supplied the counts or say whether they have been independently verified.
It also does not define “missing” or “holding centres”, or specify which areas the figures cover. The available information therefore does not establish the national or local scope of either count.
Earlier reports described other flooding in Nepal, but the supplied material does not establish that those events were connected to the floods covered by this report.
