Four weeks after devastating floods struck Nepal, the scale of the disaster remains significant. The Bhotekoshi River, overwhelmed by heavy rainfall, surged downstream, destroying critical infrastructure including roads and bridges while sweeping away homes and vehicles in minutes. The current official death toll has climbed to over 1,450, with approximately 6,000 people still unaccounted for.

The disaster has left a trail of destruction across the affected regions, complicating search and rescue operations. While local authorities and emergency responders are working to clear debris and locate survivors, the sheer volume of material carried by the floodwaters has hampered progress. The loss of transportation links has also made it difficult to deliver aid to isolated communities, leaving many survivors without access to basic necessities. As the recovery phase continues, the government faces the dual challenge of managing the humanitarian crisis and assessing the long-term damage to the country's infrastructure.
