Natural disasters | More than a hundred dead in Nepal’s record rains

of Nepal the heavy monsoon rains have caused the death of more than a hundred people and caused the flood to dominate, for example, the low-lying areas of the capital Kathmandu, according to the news agency AFP and the newspaper Kathmandu Post.

According to the police, an additional 64 people have been reported missing. The country’s road network has also suffered serious damage.

Deaths and destruction are the result of both floods and landslides, which quite typically occur around South Asia during the monsoon season in June-September. However, according to experts, climate change has made floods and landslides more frequent and more serious.

In the 24 hours before Saturday morning, 24 centimeters of water rained in the Kathmandu Valley, i.e. more than in a short time in at least 54 years, i.e. in the entire statistical history, the Nepal Meteorological Institute told the Kathmandu Post.
