The disaster in Nepal caused 1,400 deaths and more than 5,000 people are still missing.

Omissions

• The figures were in rapid flux in early September 2026: IOM (07 September) reported 1,356 dead and nearly 4,900 missing, while Anadolu Agency reported 1,385 dead and 5,519 missing, so 'more than 5,000 missing' sits at the upper end of the reported range rather than being a settled figure.
• Part of the reported 'dead' and 'missing' counts include partial body parts (hundreds of partial remains), which inflates and complicates both categories.
• The disaster spanned both Nepal and China's Tibet region; the speaker's figures refer to Nepal only, and Chinese casualties (over 40 dead and more than 500 missing) are not included.
• No primary Nepali government (NDRRMA) statement with the exact figures 1,400/5,000 was located; the closest official-type source found was IOM.
