Rescue operations are underway across affected areas of Nepal following the catastrophic flooding and mudslide that has claimed more than 300 lives. The disaster has left communities in shock as the full extent of the casualties continues to emerge, with over 1,400 people still reported missing.
Survivors have described scenes of devastation as floodwaters and debris swept through villages and towns with little warning. The scale of the disaster has overwhelmed local emergency services, with rescue teams working to locate missing persons and provide aid to affected communities.
The flooding and mudslide destroyed homes, infrastructure, and livelihoods across multiple districts. Authorities have appealed for assistance from neighbouring regions and international organisations to support relief and recovery efforts.
Weather conditions and challenging terrain have complicated search and rescue operations. Officials have cautioned that the death toll may rise as rescue teams access more remote areas and continue recovery operations in the coming days.
