Massive floods and landslides strike Nepal, search for the missing continues
Record-breaking heavy rainfall in Nepal has triggered massive floods and landslides across the country, causing extensive damage. Many houses have been swept away, and with numerous residents still missing, rescue operations are being carried out at a rapid pace.
In the Rasuwa district, one of the affected areas, a dam construction site was also hit by the disaster. Local media have reported on the concerns of families worried about the safety of workers who were at the site. One man stated that his younger brother is missing at the site and expressed his fervent hope for his family's safety.
Nepalese authorities have mobilized the military and police to conduct search operations, but rescue efforts are proving extremely difficult due to severed roads and worsening weather conditions. There is a shortage of relief supplies such as food, water, and medical items in the affected areas, and the need for international assistance is growing.
This disaster has also dealt a major blow to Nepal's infrastructure. With social foundations such as construction sites destroyed, it is expected that recovery will take a long time. The situation on the ground is changing by the minute, and there are concerns about further escalation of the damage.
The international community, including Japan, is closely monitoring the situation. Intense rescue efforts continue in the hope that the safety of the affected people will be ensured and that they can return to their peaceful lives as soon as possible.
