Homes and bridges swept away as fresh floods hit Nepal

Nepal is experiencing fresh flooding along the Budhi Gandaki River in the central Gorkha district, less than two months after devastating floods killed over 1,400 people. The recent flood has swept away approximately a dozen houses and several suspension bridges, and damaged a hydroelectric project. Authorities have rescued around 50 people, with five currently reported missing. The rapid rise in the river's water levels caused significant destruction, forcing families to flee their homes as they prepared to celebrate the Dashain festival. This new flooding exacerbates the ongoing recovery efforts for communities still impacted by the earlier catastrophic events.
