The number of people killed by flooding and landslides triggered by heavy rainfall over the weekend in Nepal has reached 193 while recovery and rescue work has been stepped up, officials said Monday.

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.
