Nepal is struggling to recover from severe floods and landslides caused by relentless rains, resulting in 192 deaths and 32 people missing. The disaster follows rains from a low-pressure system in the Bay of Bengal and India.

In Bangladesh, over 100,000 individuals have been stranded due to heavy rains and water onrush from upstream. The Kathmandu Valley, home to four million people, witnessed 56 deaths and extensive flooding that affected homes, hospitals, and infrastructure.

Officials are evaluating the damage as experts criticize haphazard construction practices. Climate change has significantly worsened the impact, highlighting the need for improved urban planning and infrastructure.
