Nearly a week after devastating floods hit Nepal, the country faces one of its worst humanitarian catastrophes. More than a thousand deaths have been confirmed, according to the latest count. There are still about 4,000 people missing, which raises concerns about the possibility of the death toll increasing significantly in the coming hours.
Nepalese authorities and rescue teams have already managed to rescue nearly 11,800 people. These operations have been hindered by blocked roads, adverse weather conditions, and damaged infrastructure in various regions of the country, especially in the most remote and vulnerable areas.
CNN Portugal's special correspondent in Kathmandu, journalist Sandra Almeida Azevedo, has been closely monitoring the evolution of the situation on the ground, reporting on the difficulties faced by the local population and emergency services in responding to this crisis.
