Nepal Flood Toll Rises to 1,114 Dead, 3,916 Missing: Disaster Authority

The disaster authority confirmed that the flood, which struck Nepal in late August 2026, has claimed 1,114 lives and left 3,916 people missing. The affected areas include the southern districts of Kavre, Ramechhap, and Saptari, where landslides and flash floods have devastated communities. The government has deployed emergency relief efforts, including search and rescue operations and the distribution of food and shelter. The flood, triggered by heavy monsoon rains, has overwhelmed the country's drainage systems and caused rivers to overflow. Infrastructure, including roads and bridges, has been severely damaged, complicating rescue and recovery efforts. The disaster authority has called for international aid and support to manage the crisis. The situation remains dire, with many regions still cut off from communication and aid. The government has declared a state of emergency, and the United Nations has expressed concern over the humanitarian impact of the disaster.
