Video from northern Nepal shows people being rescued from mud after deadly flash floods swept through the Nepal-Tibet border. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing BBC News.
The floods have left more than 160 people dead and hundreds missing. The Nepalese army and armed police forces have been rescuing flooding victims, although many rescuers are struggling to reach the disaster zone on the Tibet side.
The video shows people being pulled from mud in northern Nepal. Rescuers say the floods came suddenly, and many people were unable to escape their homes.
Rescue operations are ongoing. The Nepalese government plans to send additional forces to the affected area. Information about the situation on the Tibetan side remains limited, as most rescuers cannot reach the area.
The floods have destroyed many homes and caused significant damage to infrastructure. Local authorities are setting up temporary shelters for those affected.
This is one of the most severe natural disasters in the border regions of Nepal and Tibet. Experts say such floods may become more frequent due to climate change.
In addition to the Nepalese army and police, international organizations are also involved in rescue efforts. However, delivering aid is difficult due to the remoteness of the area.
Relatives of the victims are waiting for information about the situation in the disaster zone. Authorities continue to search for the missing.
This disaster could also affect relations between Nepal and Tibet. Both sides have expressed readiness to work together to overcome the consequences.
There is also an epidemiological threat in the flood-affected areas. Health organizations are taking preventive measures due to the risk of infectious diseases after the floods.
Information about the progress of rescue operations is being updated. The Nepalese government continues to send humanitarian aid to the disaster zone.
