Nepal Floods and Landslides Kill 170, Disrupt Daily Life

Torrential rains have caused widespread devastation, blocking highways, displacing thousands, and leaving dozens missing.

At least 170 people have died and 42 are missing due to severe floods and landslides across Nepal.
Kathmandu, the capital, experienced its highest rainfall since 1970, leading to extensive flooding and power outages.
Over 3,000 people have been rescued, with more than 20,000 security personnel deployed for ongoing rescue operations.
Major highways connecting Kathmandu to the rest of the country have been blocked by landslides, stranding hundreds of travelers.
