Deadly floods in Nepal have claimed the lives of at least 72 people, with hundreds more, including 384 tourists, currently unaccounted for. The devastation stems from recent heavy rainfall and subsequent flash floods and landslides sweeping through the region. Authorities are struggling to reach remote areas affected by the disaster, hindering rescue efforts. The missing individuals include both tourists undertaking treks and local workers. Nepal is currently in its monsoon season, which typically brings heavy downpours and increased risk of natural disasters. Search and rescue operations are underway, but challenging terrain and continued rainfall are complicating the response. The government has mobilized the army to assist in the recovery and aid delivery.
