Quick Summary

Raging waters from flash floods recently destroyed a bridge over the Budhi Gandaki River in Nepal's Gorkha district, as shown in dramatic video footage. The incident occurred over the weekend, leading to at least five missing persons and over 80 rescues. Prime Minister Balendra Shah reported on social media that several people were also rescued from Jagat due to landslides. This flood follows another devastating natural disaster in Nepal earlier this year when an avalanche caused by a glacier collapse killed more than 1,400 people. Authorities have issued evacuation orders for villages along the river banks downstream to ensure safety.
