KATHMANDU, Nepal (AFP) — Nepal estimates the reconstruction bill after deadly floods sparked by a glacial mountain collapse last month will amount to US$4.78 billion, the foreign ministry said on Friday.
Prime Minister Balendra Shah has vowed to “strongly raise” with the international community the disasters that Nepal has experienced as a result of climate change.
The August 26 catastrophe, a tsunami-like flood that began on the China-Nepal border, killed more than 1,400 people and left some 5,600 missing.
