Heavy monsoon rains have triggered widespread flooding across India, Nepal, and Bangladesh, impacting millions of lives.
The overflowing of major rivers like the Brahmaputra and Koshi has resulted in numerous deaths and displaced countless people.
While floods and landslides are common during the monsoon season, experts warn that climate change is intensifying these events. Rescue efforts are underway, with authorities providing shelter and supplies to those affected.
In Nepal, over a dozen people have died in recent days, with infrastructure severely damaged by raging rivers. Residents fear the situation could worsen as the Koshi River remains above danger levels.
“These floods are not new,” said a Kathmandu resident, “but the timing is unusual. The heavy rains started much earlier this year, and the water levels are already high. If the rain keeps falling, we may be forced to flee our homes.”
