Why are people missing?
When floods hit with such force, as in Nepal, people can become displaced, trapped, or swept away very quickly. The story mentions over 3,900 people still missing, including workers in tunnels. This highlights the immense challenge rescuers face in accounting for everyone in the chaos and destruction left behind by such a large-scale natural disaster.
