Floods and landslides triggered by heavy rainfall have killed at least 112 people in Nepal over the past 24 hours.

The death toll is expected to rise as rescue efforts continue, according to local sources.

Most of the fatalities occurred in Kavrepalanchowk district (34), followed by Lalitpur (20), and Dhading (15). Other affected areas include Kathmandu, Makwanpur, Sindhupalchowk, Dolakha, Panchthar, Bhaktapur, Dhankuta, Solukhumbu, Ramchhap, Mahottari, and Sunsari districts.

Since Thursday, Nepal has experienced relentless rainfall, leading to widespread warnings of flash floods. The floods have also left 60 people injured, and more than 3,000 individuals have been rescued.

The Nepal Police Deputy Spokesperson, Bishwo Adhikari, reported that 66 people were killed across the country, including 34 in the Kathmandu Valley.

The Nepalese government has launched a massive rescue operation to reach the affected areas. The Armed Police Force (APF) and Nepal Police are working together to evacuate people to safety and provide relief assistance.

The government has also appealed for international aid to help cope with the disaster.

The floods and landslides have disrupted daily life in Nepal. Many schools and businesses have been closed, and transportation has been severely affected.

The government has urged people to stay indoors and avoid traveling to affected areas. (ILKHA)
