Xinhua News Agency, Kathmandu, July 11 (Reporter Zhang Chenyi) As of the evening of the 11th, 27 people were killed and 4 people were lost in multiple landslide accidents in the Myagdi region of central Nepal.
In recent days, there has been heavy rainfall in most parts of Nepal. On July 10, there were multiple landslide accidents in Moyagedi, which caused about 30 people to disappear.
Due to the severe weather and the frequent occurrence of various secondary disasters caused by heavy rainfall, it is difficult for rescuers to quickly reach the scene of the incident.
Dakar, the head of the Mojagdi region, said that rescuers found three bodies of the victims on July 10 and 24 bodies of the victims on the 11th. Four people are still missing. In addition, five wounded persons have been taken to the hospital in Pokhara for treatment.
Kailan, Deputy Chief Superintendent of Moyagedi District Police, said that more than 200 residents have been moved to a safe zone. In addition, a total of more than 40 houses in the Moyagedi area were destroyed by landslides, and the overall property loss is currently difficult to estimate.
In the Zazerko region of western Nepal, floods and landslides caused by heavy rains have killed 9 people and injured 6 others.
The Kamala River, one of the main rivers in southern Nepal, exceeded its warning line on the 11th. The city government of Sihara on the Kamala River has issued a warning to some village residents, asking everyone to be vigilant to prevent the damage caused by the flood.
The Nepal Meteorological Department expects that most parts of the country will still have rainy weather in the next 3 days. Nepali Prime Minister Oli said at the National Disaster Reduction and Risk Management Committee meeting held that day that relevant departments should spare no effort to rescue the affected people and protect their lives and property safety.
