Homes and bridges swept away as fresh floods hit Nepal

Major flooding of the Budhi Gandaki River in central Nepal has destroyed approximately a dozen homes and several bridges, also damaging a hydroelectric project. While no casualties have been confirmed, thousands of residents were urged to evacuate as the river levels rose rapidly. The incident occurs just two months after catastrophic August floods killed over 1,400 people. Rescue operations involving the Nepal Army and police are ongoing, with dozens of people reportedly brought to safety in the Gorkha district.
