The most recent figure available shortly before the session (11 September 2026) was 1,385 dead — just below the 1,400 threshold cited — with the toll crossing 1,400 only in the following days (later reported at 1,451).
The figures cited are for Nepal only; the same disaster also caused 43 deaths and 519 missing in China's Tibet Autonomous Region, which the claim does not mention.
Only secondary sources (a news outlet and a statistics aggregator citing NDRRMA/Nepal Police) could be retrieved within the search budget; no direct primary NDRRMA/Nepal Police release was located, and the most precise figures come from sources published at or after the session date.
