Story summary

In September 2023, heavy rainfall and storms triggered devastating landslides in Nepal and northern India, particularly affecting areas near the Mustang District in Nepal. Videos show families desperately fleeing as their homes crumbled into floodwaters, with one clip capturing terrified screams as the land beneath a house rapidly sank. The disaster was preceded by severe flooding that killed 1,400 people earlier this year. Recent landslides have claimed 56 lives in India and left 14 dead and 11 missing in Nepal. In Uttar Pradesh, India recorded 66.5 mm of rain between September 25-27, compared to a normal period rainfall of just 7.6 mm. Authorities warn that more flash floods are imminent as river levels continue to rise.
