Hong Kong tycoon Li Ka-shing and his business empire, along with Henderson Land Development and the Lee Shau Kee Foundation, have pledged 15 million yuan (US$2.2 million) each to support relief efforts for victims of the deadly flash flooding along the Nepal-Tibet border.
Nina Wang Charity Management also pledged HK$10 million (US$1.27 million) to support relief efforts.
CK Asset Holdings, CK Hutchison Holdings and the Li Ka Shing Foundation, as well as Henderson Land and the Lee Shau Kee Foundation, expressed their condolences to victims of the disaster.
The donations were made through the central government's liaison office’s disaster relief account.
Last Wednesday, a massive wall of mud and rock collapsed into a river along the Himalayan border between Nepal and Tibet, triggering catastrophic flooding.
According to Nepalese police, 1,058 bodies had been recovered as of 2pm on Tuesday, with 4,606 people still missing.
Chinese authorities have confirmed 16 deaths and 546 people missing, taking the death toll on both sides of the border to 1,074.

Over the past week, the city government, local Nepalese community and organisations have moved to provide financial assistance, including allocating HK$50 million (US$6.3 million) from the Disaster Relief Fund, HK$20 million donated by the Jockey Club, and 30 million yuan contributed by the Macau government.
A joint institute by Polytechnic University and Sichuan University for disaster management and reconstruction, established with funding from the Jockey Club after the 2008 Sichuan province earthquake, dispatched a team to Tibet to help with the rescue.
Led by the institute’s associate research fellow, Li Yao, the team was the first university-based technical force to enter the core disaster zone.
Since last Friday, the experts have been conducting drone-based mapping to obtain first-hand data on the material composition and terrain of the avalanche source zone, while investigating mud marks, air-blast traces and slopes along the flow path.
“Based on the field data, the team carried out a preliminary assessment of the breaching risk of the landslide-dammed lake in the upper Donglin Zangbo,” it said, referring to a river on site.
Their research had provided “a direct scientific basis for the safe deployment of rescue forces, secondary-disaster monitoring and early warning”, it added.
