Flood in Nepal

Flooding and landslides were triggered by the highest rainfall recorded in Nepal. Three days of persistent rainfall had inundated the Himalayan country, causing widespread flash floods.

The death toll has reached up to 193, many of the deaths were in the capital city of Kathmandu. 31 people reported still missing and 96 people injured across the Himalayan nation. People were also killed in their homes as some houses were crushed by landslides.

65 highways have been obstructed, and the risk of landslides has increased in 42 districts due to rain. One landslide blocked a highway situated 10 miles from the Kathmandu city, this killed three dozen people and buried at least three buses and other vehicles. Workers were able to temporarily open up the key Prithvi highway, removing rocks, mud and trees that had been swept down from the mountains.

Schools and colleges in the Himalayan nation had to close temporarily as students and their parents faced difficulties due to damaged infrastructure.

The government hopes to build temporary shelters for people who lost their homes.
