A deadly flash flood has struck Nepal, killing at least 100 people and displacing thousands. The disaster, triggered by heavy rainfall, hit the southern region of Kavre, where rivers overflowed their banks and swept away homes and infrastructure. Emergency services are working to reach affected areas, though access remains difficult due to damaged roads and ongoing rain.
International aid organizations and governments have begun sending relief supplies, cash assistance, and medical support to the region. The United Nations and several NGOs have pledged emergency funding, while neighboring countries like India and China have offered logistical support. Local authorities have called for more aid as they struggle to meet the needs of the displaced population.
The flood follows a series of extreme weather events in the Himalayan nation, raising concerns about climate change impacts. Officials warn that such disasters may become more frequent, urging greater investment in early warning systems and disaster preparedness.
The situation remains critical, with many families still missing and rescue operations ongoing. Aid groups are prioritizing shelter, food, and clean water distribution, while health officials monitor for outbreaks of waterborne diseases.
