Nepal rescuers search for survivors in river Trishuli in Simaltar on Jul 12, 2024, at the site of a landslide. At least 63 people were missing after a landslide triggered by heavy monsoon rains swept two buses off a highway and into a river, authorities said.
Rescuers work in the aftermath of a landslide at a location given as Chitwan District, Bagmati Province, Nepal, in this screen grab obtained from a handout video released on Jul 12, 2024. One bus was heading from the capital to Gaur in Rautahat district in southern Nepal, and the other was en route to Kathmandu from southern Birgunj.
Nearly 2,400 people lost their lives on Nepal's roads in the 12 months to April, according to government figures. Monsoon rains across South Asia from June to September offer respite from the summer heat and are crucial to replenishing water supplies, but also bring widespread death and destruction.
