Severe monsoon floods in Nepal have killed at least 225 people, sparking outrage over delayed relief efforts. Entire neighborhoods in Kathmandu were submerged, with the poorest residents hit hardest. Survivors in remote areas are still waiting for help, with many expressing frustration. "The damage is done," said Mira KC, a resident of Kavre district. Experts attribute the increasing intensity of floods and landslides to climate change, criticizing the government for inadequate preparation despite warnings. Nepal's weather bureau reported the heaviest rainfall in over two decades. Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli faced criticism for not returning sooner from his U.S. trip.
