Nepal's recent floods and landslides have claimed 241 lives and left thousands displaced. PM KP Sharma Oli urges public support as rescue operations continue.

Kathmandu: Nepal Prime Minister K P Sharma Oli on Tuesday said that more than 4,000 people were rescued in the rain-induced floods and landslides that have claimed 241 lives so far and wreaked havoc in the Himalayan country.

Many of the deaths were in the capital, Kathmandu, which got heavy rainfall, and much of the southern part of the city was flooded.

Tragic news is coming from Nepal. Catastrophic monsoon rains have caused floods and landslides. The death toll is steadily increasing. Floods and landslides have paralyzed road traffic and disrupted life in many towns in Nepal.

The death toll from rain-triggered floodings and landslides across Nepal climbed to 102 on Sunday, police said
