Flooding deaths in Nepal approach 200 as recovery work is stepped up
Briefly

The devastating flooding and landslides in Nepal have left 193 dead, with 31 missing and many injured, prompting intensified recovery and rescue operations.
Rescue workers faced significant challenges due to blocked highways, with the Prithvi highway only recently cleared enough to enable some recovery efforts to proceed.
Heavy rainfall caused extreme flooding in Kathmandu, leading to many deaths from landslides, particularly among those trapped in vehicles during the disaster.
In the wake of the disaster, the government has decided to close schools and colleges for three days to aid recovery and response efforts.
