Nepal faces a severe humanitarian crisis after a flood that hit the country on Wednesday, resulting in at least 750 confirmed deaths. The situation is described as a race against time, where time is considered the enemy.

Commander Jorge Mendes spoke about the challenges that rescue teams will face in the coming days. Operations on the ground are hindered by the presence of large layers of mud over the rubble, which complicates search and rescue efforts.

The teams that are on site want to deliver humanitarian aid as quickly as possible, highlighting the urgency of the rescue operations in that Asian country.
