Nepal holds a day of mourning on Monday to remember people killed in catastrophic floods that struck on Aug. 26. Multiple outlets report the death toll is at least 1,300, with the mourning marking victims of the disaster.
The commemorations include lowering flags at government offices to half-staff. Several sources also note that families conclude mourning rituals, indicating observances continue beyond official ceremonies.
One outlet, PBS NewsHour, adds further context on the wider impact reported by Nepal’s disaster management agency, saying Monday is the 13th day since the flooding and that more than 1,300 people died in Nepal and Tibet. It also reports about 5,000 people remain missing, including foreigners. Other accounts focus more directly on the national mourning activities and the confirmed death toll, without extending into the figures on missing people.
