Flash floods in Nepal on Wednesday, August 26, caused widespread devastation, with at least 95 people reported dead and dozens more missing. Shocking aerial footage captured the scale of the disaster, showing mud flowing through valleys in the Rasuwa District.
The surge in the Bhotekoshi River, which originates in Tibet and flows into Nepal, is believed to have triggered the flash floods. Local politician KP Khanal stated that the footage documenting the destruction was taken from a helicopter.
The extent of the damage is still being assessed, but the images highlight the immediate impact on the affected regions. The suddenness of the river surge complicated rescue and relief efforts in the mountainous terrain.
