So far, rescuers have recovered only bodies from tunnels blocked by sludge, but teams were still digging, drilling and blasting through debris in the hopes of reaching any potential survivors.Nepal&#8217;s Foreign Minister Shisir Khanal said he still hoped some of the thousands of people still reported missing could be alive.&#8221;Miracles do happen,&#8221; he said in an interview. &#8220;At this point, I do not want to completely give up hope.&#8221;Nepal&#8217;s Prime Minister Balendra Shah said the catastrophe was &#8220;a serious indication that the risks we face in the Himalayan region are increasing alongside climate change&#8221;.&#8221;Climate change is a global contribution, and disaster response is also a global responsibility,&#8221; he wrote in a post on Facebook.Scientists say the Himalayas, the world&#8217;s highest mountain range, are warming rapidly as global temperatures rise, accelerating glacier melt.Glaciers in the wider Himalayan and\u00a0Hindu Kush ranges are a crucial water source for around 240 million people in the mountainous regions, as well as for another 1.65 billion people in the South and Southeast Asian river valleys below.There is growing anger at the scale of destruction to hit Nepal, a largely rural nation of 30 million people. The country has contributed little to the greenhouse gas emissions driving global warming, but is among those suffering its consequences.Kathmandu has warned reconstruction costs could run into the &#8220;billions of dollars&#8221;. Nepal&#8217;s economy is already strained, with limited resources to respond to a disaster of this scale.With mortuaries overflowing in Nepal, authorities have had to bury hundreds of unidentified bodies after DNA sampling in mass graves, sparking major uproar from the country\u2019s largely Hindu community, who accused the government of ignoring religious burial rites.The total number of confirmed deaths as of Wednesday morning sat at 1,114. The latest figures also show 3,916 people still missing.<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/2026\/09\/02\/mass-burials-of-unidentified-victims-continue-in-nepal-as-death-toll-exceeds-1000-one-week&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/89\/79\/12\/1200x675_cmsv2_721ab617-e02e-5716-935c-841bed6559cf-9897912.jpg&#8221;] Europe News Macron, King Charles hail UK-France ties at Bayeux Tapestry exhibit Europe News Malta jury clears businessman in Daphne Caruana Galizia murder case Europe News Spain in disarray over leaked reports about Morocco\u2019s role in Ceuta The Ring The surge of the far-right &#8211; who is to blame?
