According to police reports, five people died in Manebhanjyang of Suryodaya municipality in Ilam district. Additionally, nine others lost their lives in the areas of Pategaun, Mansebung, Deuma, Dhusuni, Ratmate, and Ghosang.
The Nepal Army has deployed troops to the affected areas and sent a helicopter to assist with rescue operations. However, ongoing inclement weather has hampered these efforts.
Monsoon rains remain active in five of Nepal’s seven provinces, including Koshi, Madhes, Bagmati, Gandaki, and Lumbini.
