Rescue and relief operations following severe flooding in Nepal have expanded into neighbouring Indian states, with sixteen more victims arriving in Kerala on Monday. The arrivals bring the total number of displaced persons documented in the southern state to a significant figure, as regional authorities coordinate with Nepali officials to account for all those affected.
State authorities in Kerala have confirmed the safety and whereabouts of 45 individuals who were caught in the flooding. Officials are continuing verification procedures to ensure accurate accounting of all displaced persons who have crossed into Indian territory.
The floods, which swept through Nepal in recent days, have prompted a coordinated response across the region. Relief organizations and government agencies in both countries are working to provide shelter, medical assistance, and essential supplies to those displaced.
Kerala's administration has set up reception centres and temporary shelters to accommodate the arrivals. Authorities are conducting health screenings and documenting individual cases to facilitate future assistance and potential repatriation efforts.
The exact toll from the flooding in Nepal remains under assessment, with ongoing search and rescue operations in affected areas. Regional officials have appealed for sustained support to manage the humanitarian situation.
