Landslides and floods hit Nepal: at least 21 dead, 12 missing

Heavy rains have caused floods, avalanches and major landslides in several parts of Nepal. In the Kali Gandaki River, part of a mountain collapsed and ended up in the water.

Footage recorded in Lete village, in Mustang district, shows trees and buildings being swept away by the landslide and falling into the river.

The national emergency agency announced that, since Thursday, at least 21 people have lost their lives in Nepal as a result of the rains.

An avalanche also hit a camp on Mount Himlung. Four people have been confirmed dead, while 12 others are missing and presumed dead. Rescue teams brought 10 people and the bodies of four victims out of the area, but bad weather forced them to suspend the operation.

Heavy rains have also caused floods and landslides in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, where at least 56 people have died.

Dozens of Israeli tourists remain stranded in Samagaun, in the Manaslu region. Rock slides have blocked roads and damaged bridges. The tourists have requested evacuation, but authorities are facing difficult weather conditions.
