Days of heavy monsoon rains in Nepal have triggered widespread flooding and landslides across the Himalayan nation, killing almost 200 people and causing widespread destruction.

Major floods and landslides in Nepal have killed at least 148 people and injured more than 100 across the Himalayan nation, police have reported. They say more than 50 people were still missing on Sunday, after two days of intense rainfall which inundated the valley around the capital, Kathmandu. About 3,600 people have been rescued so far.

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.
