Nepal is monitoring two lakes formed upstream of the flooded area where hundreds of people died on Wednesday. The information was confirmed by an official from the Nepali Disaster Management Agency.

Authorities are closely watching these two lakes that formed after the flood that hit the country. The concern is related to the fact that they are located in higher areas, which represents a potential risk for communities situated downstream.

The flood that occurred on Wednesday caused hundreds of deaths, which makes this monitoring situation particularly important to avoid further victims. Disaster management teams remain on high alert given the possibility of new risks related to these bodies of water.
