Flash flood sweeps away buildings along Nepal's Budhi Gandaki river

Flash flooding on Sunday swept away buildings along the Budhi Gandaki river in Nepal. The source gives no details on casualties or the scale of the damage.

Flash flooding struck along the Budhi Gandaki river in Nepal, a South Asian country, on Sunday, 11 October, sweeping away buildings.

A flash flood is a rapid and sudden rise in water levels that can inundate an area within a short time and leave residents little chance to prepare. According to the broadcaster Al Jazeera, the floodwaters carried off buildings along the river.

What is known

The available information is limited. The source does not say how many buildings were destroyed, whether anyone was injured or killed, or what caused the flood. It also does not mention whether evacuations or rescue operations are under way.

More details can be added once clearer information emerges about the situation along the Budhi Gandaki river.
