Floods in Nepal's capital have left at least 170 dead and thousands displaced. Monsoon rains triggered flash floods and landslides, causing widespread destruction. Rescue efforts have saved over 3,000 people as teams work to clear highways and restore access.

Rescue, recovery, and clean-up efforts continued on Sunday, as the rains relented on Sunday, but the number of dead could rise, as reports come in from villages across the mountainous country, and dozens are reported missing.

According to officials, 65 highways have been obstructed, and the risk of landslides has increased in 42 districts due to rain, while 49 people have died as a result of floods and landslides across the country,
