Nepal floods: 112 dead, 64 missing as intense downpour continues

Nepal has been dealing with heavy rainfall since Friday, which led to inundation in several low-lying areas as well as rising levels of water in rivers that resulted in flash floods.

Several roads have been flooded or blocked due to landslides, as rivers such as the Bagmati have broken their banks and water levels have risen above danger marks. Around eight different roads have been blocked due to landslides.

The country's weather bureau told the Kathmandu Post, that this was the highest recorded rainfall in the country's capital since 1970.

In the 24 hours, leading upto Saturday morning, Kathmandu had recorded 240 mm of rain.

As of Sunday morning, 3,300 people have been rescued by relief teams. More than 3,000 security personnel are working towards assisting rescue efforts with helicopters, rafts and motorboats.

Domestic flights in and out of Kathmandu have resumed on Sunday after being temporarily suspended Friday onwards, with close to 150 departures cancelled.
