Search and rescue teams in Nepal’s capital have been picking through wrecked homes as floodwaters have started to recede
Officials reported on Monday that the d3ath toll from the monsoon floods and landslides had risen to 193 around the Himalayan nation. At least 31 others were missing and many others injured, police said.
Entire neighbourhoods in Kathmandu were inundated after the heaviest rains in more than two decades, with the capital temporarily cut off from the rest of the country after landslides blocked highways.
“Our focus is on search and rescue, including people who have been stranded on highways,” said Ministry of Home Affairs spokesman Rishi Ram Tiwari.
