Nepal Floods, Landslides Kill 44 | JQJO

At least 44 people have died in Nepal due to severe rainfall triggering landslides, lightning strikes, and floods. The eastern mountain district of Illam was particularly devastated, with villages swept away. Rescue efforts are hindered by blocked roads and challenging weather conditions. The government is deploying helicopters for evacuations and troops for assistance, while highways remain closed. This disaster occurs as many citizens were returning home after a major festival.
