The Nepalese government has called off search and rescue operations for victims of the devastating floods that struck the country in August. Rescuers recovered 1,455 bodies, while 5,285 people remain listed as missing.

Authorities will now shift their focus to reconstruction and to repairing damaged infrastructure. The cost of rebuilding and recovery is estimated at about $4.77 billion.

The floods affected some 33,000 people, and around 7,500 homes were damaged or destroyed.
