WARD OFFICE
COLLAPSES AS FRESH
MONSOON FLOODS
HIT NEPAL
A local district ward office
slid straight into a rushing
river on Sunday (Sept 27)
after relentless flooding
washed away the entire
hillside beneath it.
Up north, dramatic footage
captured the exact moment
a massive section of a
mountain broke apart
and crashed directly
into the Kaligandaki River,
sending massive plumes
of dust into the air
as the heavy debris briefly
blocked the river flow.
The unusually late burst of
monsoon rain has triggered
over 280 fresh landslides,
killing at least 14 people
across Nepal.
Rescue teams are on
the ground as the country
continues to rebuild
from a catastrophic August
glacial collapse, which
killed more than
1,400 people.
