The disaster has pushed the death toll to 903, while more than 4,200 people remain missing. Rescue teams are battling difficult terrain as they continue recovery operations in areas affected by the floods.
Amid the devastation, a school head teacher saved 900 students by evacuating them just before the floodwaters struck. The evacuation prevented the students from being caught in the rapidly advancing waters.
The cause and circumstances surrounding the disaster have also drawn scrutiny. Some people have blamed nearby Chinese construction, while officials have cited climate-driven glacier instability as a factor behind the collapse and resulting floods.
The flooding caused widespread destruction across affected areas, damaging vital infrastructure and leaving communities along the Nepal-China border facing a major recovery effort.
India and China are assisting Nepal in recovery operations, while Nepal is directing private aid through official channels.
With 903 deaths confirmed and more than 4,200 people still missing, rescue teams continue to work through challenging terrain as authorities respond to the scale of destruction caused by the glacier collapse and subsequent floods.
