Floodwaters of Despair The recent flash floods along the Nepal Tibet border have left over 1,000 people dead and nearly 4,000 missing, according to Nepal's disaster agency.
The BBC's report paints a devastating picture of what remains after the waters receded: villagers returning home are met with nothing but mud and silt, their lives irreparably altered.
The scale of this tragedy is hard to comprehend, even for those familiar with South Asia's history of natural disasters.
