Flooding and landslides in Nepal due to continuous rainfall have resulted in at least 66 deaths and 69 people missing, with heavy rescue operations underway.
Home minister Ramesh Lekhak emphasized that the immediate government priority is to rescue affected individuals and assess damage from the flooding, as multiple warnings were issued.
Rishiram Tiwari stated that significant areas in Kathmandu have been impacted by high water levels, forcing residents into upper floors while rescue operations are ongoing.
Major highways, including the critical Prithvi highway connecting Kathmandu to the rest of Nepal, are blocked by landslides, complicating rescue and relief efforts during this crisis.
