The monsoon season, while critical for agriculture in South Asia, poses a severe risk, exacerbated by climate change, resulting in floods that bring significant death and destruction.
Authorities indicated that the death toll from flooding and landslides in Nepal has reached 193, with additional individuals missing. The natural disaster has severely impacted urban areas like Kathmandu.
Experts point out that unplanned urban development around rivers has worsened the impact of monsoons, with the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development highlighting failures in risk management.
The Nepalese army has conducted over 4,000 rescues during this crisis, utilizing various methods to reach stranded individuals, reflecting the severe disruption caused by landslides and flooding.
