Nepal alerts for new floods; communities struggle with destruction and death toll rises

Euronews Portugal30 August 2026 at 08:43

Nepalese authorities issued flood alerts to the population this Sunday, sending warnings directly to residents' mobile phones throughout the morning. This measure comes at a time when rescue teams continue to work to address the consequences of the devastating floods that hit the country on Wednesday.

Rescue teams are trying to evacuate a main road connecting Kathmandu to one of the areas most affected by the floods. The road is considered crucial for reaching communities isolated by the catastrophe.

Local communities face enormous difficulties dealing with the destruction caused by the floods. Many residents remain in at-risk areas despite warnings from authorities.

The death toll continues to rise as rescue operations continue and authorities assess the extent of the damage caused by this natural catastrophe.
