Nepal is bracing for heavy rainfall after the Meteorological Forecasting Division warned of severe weather conditions on Wednesday (Sep 2), with monsoon winds continuing to affect the flood-hit country. Days earlier, the Himalayan nation was struck by deadly floods that resulted in the deaths of over a thousand people, while several thousand others remain missing as rescuers search for survivors. The floods have been attributed to glacial collapse in the Tibet region.The latest weather warning covers parts of Koshi, Bagmati, Gandaki, Lumbini, Karnali and Sudurpashchim provinces. Heavy rain could occur at one or two places in the Himalayan and hilly areas of Bagmati and Gandaki, as well as the Himalayan region of Koshi.Many parts of the hills are expected to receive moderate rain or snowfall, accompanied by thunder and lightning. Moderate rain is expected in the Terai in Lumbini and Sudurpashchim.According to the forecast, Bhairahawa, Simara and Janakpur are among the hottest locations, with maximum temperatures expected to reach 33-35 degrees Celsius. Kathmandu is likely to see temperatures between 28 degrees Celsius and 30 degrees Celsius. Dadeldhura could remain much cooler, with temperatures forecast at 20-22 degrees Celsius.There is a 60 per cent chance of rain in Kathmandu and Pokhara. The probability is higher in Dadeldhura and Dhangadi, at 70 per cent, while Jiri has a 60 per cent chance.<h2>More rain expected overnight</h2>The weather office said monsoon winds have their influence over the entire country. The monsoon trough is positioned slightly north of its average location in western Nepal and close to its normal position in the east. Cloudy skies are expected to continue tonight.This comes as the death toll following the deadly floods reached 1,127 on Wednesday (Sep 2) as rescuers recovered hundreds more bodies across affected districts. Nepal police said 1,113 bodies had completed postmortem and legal identification procedures, while only 95 had been handed over to relatives. Details of 911 unidentified bodies have been uploaded to the Nepal Police website as authorities seek help from families in identifying the dead.

Nepal braces for heavy rain after deadly floods kill over 1,100; warning in 6 provinces

Days after the tragic Nepal floods thousands remain missing, with families awaiting news about their loved ones. While Nepal on Saturday upped the death toll to 626, China's Xinhua news agency early Saturday reported that across the border in Tibet only 7 deaths have been recorded, with 554 missing. The low number seems doubtful, especially given the scale of destruction the floods have left in their wake.Now, a video from Gyirong Port, a vital land border crossing between Tibet, China, and Rasuwa, Nepal is further raising questions about Beijing's censorship.The video in question is difficult to miss.

<h2>China censoring visuals of Nepal-Tibet floods?</h2>So far, China's state-run media has shown only a single still image from the flooding. According to the report by BBC's Laura Bicker, finding the shocking video on China's heavily controlled internet has proved difficult. So has finding detailed first-hand accounts of a disaster that has killed hundreds and left many more missing.This is now drawing attention to the way Beijing manages information about Tibet, particularly during a major crisis.<h2>China's response is visible, but tightly controlled</h2>Beijing has mounted a large rescue operation in the affected region. Hundreds of emergency workers have been deployed, while President Xi Jinping chaired a meeting on the response.Chinese state media has also reported on rescue teams working in dangerous conditions, including specialists scaling mountains and crossing swollen rivers. Officials have warned about a barrier lake formed by debris that could overflow and trigger further flooding.Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/nepal-floods-china-warns-artificial-lake-formed-after-mudslide-could-breach-send-more-floodwaters-downstream-death-toll-392-1787879651104">Nepal floods: China warns artificial lake formed after mudslide could breach, send more floodwaters downstream</a>But notably, beyond those official updates, there is little independent information available.There are few accounts from survivors in Tibet, almost no user-generated footage showing the flooding as it happened and little information from families searching for missing relatives.Foreign journalists, as per reports are facing trouble accessing Tibet. The access remains tightly controlled and requires government permission, making independent reporting during a fast-moving disaster particularly difficult.<h2>Why Tibet is especially sensitive for Beijing</h2>The information blackout is taking place against the backdrop of Tibet's complicated political history with Beijing.China brought Tibet under Communist rule in the 1950s after years of resistance to Chinese control. Beijing has since faced criticism over its policies in the region, while Tibetan groups abroad have accused the government of restricting religious and cultural freedoms.The Chinese government rejects those allegations and points instead to extensive investment in Tibet, including infrastructure and tourism development.Yet the region remains politically sensitive, and that sensitivity becomes especially visible when a major disaster draws international attention.<h2>Why is China censoring a natural disaster?</h2>One explanation for the limited coverage could be Beijing's longstanding emphasis on maintaining social stability.Local Communist Party officials moved quickly after the disaster, urging grassroots members to assist with relief work and provide emotional and psychological support to residents.One particularly striking instruction, BBC reports told party members to "make every effort to maintain social order and ensure stability and public confidence in the disaster areas".The directive also warned that officials who performed well would be rewarded, while those who failed would be held accountable.<h2>Videos and accounts disappearing online</h2>Advocacy group, International Campaign for Tibet has meanwhile praised emergency responders but said Chinese authorities were removing videos and first-hand accounts from social media.The group called on Beijing to "disclose complete and verifiable information about the damage and casualties".&nbsp;

A terrifying video showing floodwaters ripping through Gyirong Port has spread across the world. But inside China, the same footage is remarkably difficult to find, raising fresh questions about how Beijing is handling information from the disaster zone. Watch below.
