Flood in Nepal
At least 141 people have died in Nepal following floods and landslides.
It is estimated that 27 districts in the country are affected, and tens of thousands of people have been forced to evacuate their homes.
The disaster follows three days of monsoon rains. Authorities were able to warn many at risk in advance, prompting the evacuation of thousands of people before they could be placed in danger.
Estimates suggest as many as 50,000 homes could be flooded, and 3000 destroyed. The agricultural heartland of the country is also affected, leading to concerns about future limits on food production after damage to the crops.
27,000 relief and rescue personnel have been deployed by the government.
The toll from the disaster is expected to rise as rescue personnel reach isolated villages.
