Hundreds of people have lost their lives and thousands are missing after severe flooding in Nepal.
Heavy monsoon rains have triggered widespread flooding across Nepal, leaving hundreds dead and thousands missing.
Rescue teams from the national disaster management authority and local volunteers are combing villages and riverbanks in search of survivors, but many areas remain inaccessible due to swollen rivers and landslides.
The floods have displaced large populations, damaged homes, and disrupted transport and communication links, prompting the government to declare a state of emergency in several districts.
Experts warn that similar monsoon patterns could affect neighboring India, raising concerns about a potential wave of floods in the region.
