Nepal Flood: Heavy Rains Trigger Floods and Landslides

Persistent rainfall has caused rivers and streams to rise rapidly, increasing the threat of flash floods in vulnerable areas.

Flooding and landslides have disrupted transportation, with damaged roads and bridges making travel difficult in affected areas.

As floodwaters threaten homes and communities, emergency teams are working to move people from dangerous areas to safer locations.

Rescue personnel and local authorities are responding to affected communities while relief efforts focus on shelter, food and essential supplies.

Flooding is being compounded by landslides in mountainous areas, where saturated slopes can become unstable after prolonged rain.

Authorities are urging people in vulnerable areas to remain alert, follow official warnings and avoid flooded roads and swollen rivers.
