A devastating flood has swept through a remote village in Nepal’s Himalayan region, leaving scores of bodies recovered as rescue teams continue searching for more victims.
The disaster was triggered by a massive collapse of mud and rock, sending torrents of water and debris through communities near the Tibet border.
Homes, roads and vital infrastructure were destroyed as the powerful surge tore through the area, leaving entire sections of the village cut off.
The death toll continues to rise, while hundreds of people remain missing and families wait anxiously for news of loved ones.
Rescue teams are facing extremely difficult conditions, with damaged roads and unstable terrain making access to affected areas particularly challenging.
Authorities are also warning of the risk of further flooding from a lake formed behind a natural dam of debris, raising fears that another surge could hit downstream communities.
Helicopters and emergency crews are being deployed where possible as authorities race to locate survivors and recover those still missing.
The scale of the destruction has left local communities facing an enormous humanitarian challenge.
As rescue operations continue, officials are urging people in vulnerable areas to remain alert and prepare for possible further evacuations.
For now, the priority remains finding survivors, reaching isolated communities and preventing another disaster from claiming more lives.
