The death toll from flooding in Nepal has risen to 750, according to reports from the France-Presse news agency. Local authorities confirmed that more than 3,000 people remain missing after the floods that devastated the country.

The flooding was caused by torrential rains that hit Nepal, causing massive flooding and landslides in various regions of the country. The humanitarian situation remains critical with thousands of people affected.

Rescue teams continue to work to find survivors and assist victims, but operations have been hindered by adverse weather conditions and damage to infrastructure. Many residents were forced to abandon their homes.

Nepal is facing one of the worst natural disasters in recent years, with entire communities devastated by the waters. The international community has already begun responding to calls for humanitarian aid to assist the affected population.
