Nepal

The number of people killed by flooding and landslides triggered by heavy rainfall over the weekend in Nepal has reached 193, while 31 people were still reported missing.

Dozens were still reported missing as landslides continued across the mountainous country.

Authorities said the death toll was expected to rise, noting that communications were cut off with many places.

After years of surveys and calculations, the countries said Tuesday that the world's highest peak now stands about 29,032 feet above sea level — more than 2 feet taller than the previous consensus.

The census showed no Christians in 1951. Today there are nearly 400,000. One reason: Some evangelical groups offer aid — desperately needed after the earthquake — and also seek converts.

Aftershocks are rattling survivors' nerves and making the recovery even more challenging. In one district, 400,000 people were affected by the quake and more than 4,000 homes are now unsafe.
