A recent update reports a rising death toll and increasing humanitarian needs. The number of fatalities has reached 1,356, with nearly 4,900 people still missing. Infrastructure such as roads, bridges, health facilities, and schools has suffered significant damage.

The situation is dire for thousands of displaced individuals facing loss and uncertainty. In response, the International Organization for Migration has launched an appeal for $20.5 million to support 43,000 people, in conjunction with the government's efforts. Further details on the situation and the response efforts are available from the source, including information on the inter-agency flash appeal launched by the United Nations and its humanitarian partners.
