Nepal is reeling after heavy monsoon rains triggered floods and landslides, killing at least 47 people and leaving dozens missing as of October 10, 2025. The hardest-hit districts include Sindhupalchok, Kavrepalanchok, and Dhading, where overflowing rivers swept away homes, roads, and bridges. Local authorities, alongside the Nepal Army and Armed Police Force, have launched extensive rescue operations, using helicopters and boats to evacuate stranded residents from remote villages. This disaster is part of a recurring pattern of flood-related tragedies in Nepal. In 2021, monsoon-induced landslides claimed more than 100 lives in the eastern hills, while 2023 saw severe flooding in the Terai plains displacing tens of thousands. Experts note that deforestation, unplanned construction, and changing rainfall patterns have amplified the severity of such natural disasters, making rural and hilly regions especially vulnerable. Relief agencies, including the Nepal Red Cross Society, are providing emergency supplies of food, medicine, and temporary shelters. The government has appealed to neighbouring countries for humanitarian aid and urged citizens to stay vigilant as heavy rains continue in several regions. Roads connecting affected districts remain damaged, complicating rescue and relief operations. #NepalFloods #Landslides #Sindhupalchok #NepalDisaster #Monsoon2025 #NepalArmy #RedCrossNepal #HumanitarianAid #NaturalDisaster #NepalNews
