Impact & Risks

The floods in Nepal have resulted in significant damage, with thousands of people displaced and critical infrastructure affected. The safe return of the 54 Kannadigas is a relief for their families, but the broader impact of the floods continues to be severe. The affected regions in Nepal are facing challenges such as lack of access to clean water, food, and medical supplies. The situation remains precarious, with the potential for further flooding if heavy rains persist. The disaster has also raised concerns about the safety of other Indian nationals who may still be in the affected areas.
