The Disaster Management Executive Committee will provide relief to families with missing members.
Security agencies, including the Nepal Army and police, have rescued around 4,500 people and continue to provide emergency aid.
Hundreds are facing food and water shortages, with market prices rising due to disrupted supply routes.
