Homes and bridges swept away as fresh floods hit Nepal
Fresh floods have struck central Nepal, sweeping away homes, bridges, and damaging a hydropower station along the Budhi Gandaki River in the Gorkha district. Authorities confirmed that around 50 people have been rescued, while five individuals remain missing. The disaster comes as the country is still struggling to recover from catastrophic floods that occurred less than two months ago, leaving thousands dead or missing. The latest surge struck just as communities were preparing to celebrate the major Dashain festival. Experts are investigating the exact cause of the flash flood, with potential factors including a temporary landslide dam or an ice avalanche. Aid organizations like Save the Children are currently mobilizing emergency teams to support affected families and children.
