how bad is nepal's flood damage?
Nepal is currently facing serious flood damage due to incessant heavy rains, especially in the Tarai region, which have disrupted key highway links across the country. The floods have been severe enough to prompt significant rescue and rehabilitation efforts, with Toyota Nepal and partners donating NPR 30 million to support these efforts. Additionally, the Asian Development Bank has lowered Nepal's economic growth forecast to 4.1 percent because of the impact of floods like those in Bhotekoshi. Flash floods in places like Rasuwa have receded but continue to pose health risks. Overall, the situation is quite critical with ongoing risks of floods and landslides in multiple provinces.
