Nepal Flooding and Landslides: Death Toll Exceeds 100, Rescue Efforts Continue

Nepal faces severe flooding and landslides, resulting in over 100 deaths. Rescue operations are ongoing as recovery begins.

The number of people killed in floods and landslides in Nepal has hit over 100, with a lot more missing.

On Sunday, the police said more people are likely to die as more reports come in from villages all over the mountains.

The weather got better in Nepal on Sunday, which means they can start looking for people, fixing damage, and cleaning up.

Rescue teams found 14 bodies overnight from two buses that got buried in a landslide on the road to Kathmandu.

They’re still looking for more people trapped under the rubble in the same spot, as they dig through rocks and mud to find survivors.

Kathmandu is cut off from the rest of the world on Sunday, with the main roads out of the city blocked by landslides. Three important roads, including the crucial Prithvi Highway that connects Kathmandu to other places, are also blocked.

People in southern Kathmandu, which got flooded a lot, are starting to clean up their homes as the water goes down.

At least 34 people died in Kathmandu, the city that got hit the hardest by the floods on Saturday.

The police and military are helping with the rescue work, and big machines are being used to clear the landslides blocking the roads.

Because of the floods, the government decided to close all schools and colleges for the next three days. Even though the heavy rain that started on Friday slowed down by Saturday night, there’s still a chance of more rain over the weekend.

Last week, the authorities warned everyone in the Himalayan area about heavy rain, which led to a no-nighttime bus travel rule on highways and a warning to stay off the roads.

Usually, the rainy season in Nepal starts in June and goes on until mid-September.
