## Resource

China’s death toll from the disaster now stands at 31 with 531 still missing, a stark revision from earlier figures — but access to the zone is tightly controlled, with only state media allowed and families barred from public mourning. In contrast, Nepal openly shares updates and permits journalists to document the tragedy, revealing raw grief and personal searches for loved ones. Meanwhile, Chinese authorities have cracked down on social media critics, detaining or fining over ten people for questioning official narratives — while patterns of delayed transparency after disasters raise alarms. Compounding the challenge, Tibet’s restricted entry for foreigners and history of communication limits make independent reporting nearly impossible, deepening global uncertainty about the full human cost.
