💨 Abstract

Nepal has closed schools for three days due to heavy rain-triggered floods and landslides that killed 151 people, with 56 missing. The capital, Kathmandu, saw 37 deaths, and traffic was disrupted. The floods were blamed on a low-pressure system and haphazard development, which exacerbates climate change risks. Authorities have urged immediate investment in infrastructure to mitigate future disasters.
