SITUATION OVERVIEW
Nepal is a mountainous country, and various river systems originate in the Himalayas and flow down to the Bay of Bengal/Indian Ocean through India. Currently, it is the middle of the monsoon season in Nepal. The country has been experiencing severe floods since mid-2022 due to heavy rainfall during this season. The overflow of the Koshi river in eastern Nepal displaced 20,000 people in over 1000 households in August. On September 12, more floods and landslides occurred in Darchula district, killing five, and ten reported missing. Mahakali Municipality and Naugad Rural Municipality have also been inundated by flash floods and landslides, displacing many settlements, causing injury and demise of locals. On 16th and 17th September, Kamalbazaar Municipality, Turmakhand and Dhakari rural Municipalities of Achham district were also hit by massive landslides. According to District Police Office in Achham, 22 people died, 11 people were injured and several houses were inundated by landslides.
Nepal still anticipates massive rainfall this year.
