New severe weather in Nepal hinders relief efforts, fears of landslides

NOS26 September · 19:131 hour ago

Severe rainfall from the remnants of Cyclone Arnabnu has disrupted aid delivery to mountain villages in Nepal, compounding the devastation caused by a recent flood. The heavy rain has triggered new landslides and blocked roads, forcing authorities to close routes and halt travel between districts. Survivors like Deki Thokra and Pema Wangmo Tamang report profound grief after losing family members, while residents express fear that saturated slopes will cause further disasters. In Kathmandu, rising waters in the Manohara and Bagmati rivers have led to bridge closures and flood warnings, leaving communities without essential supplies or safety.
