Monsoon rains wreaking flood havoc across South Asia.
Torrential monsoon rains swept away homes and triggered landslides across South Asia, affecting millions of people and claiming at least 180 lives, officials said Tuesday.
In Mumbai, a building collapsed in a crammed neighbourhood, killing two people and trapping more than 40 following heavy rains in the city. In Nepal, at least 78 people have died and 16,000 families displaced, although flood waters have started receding. Images showed rescuers using inflatable dinghies to evacuate families trapped in flooded houses.
"Our family and some neighbours survived by staying at the top floor for two days. Most one-floor mud houses in the areas have been severely damaged."Nearly 50 people have been killed in India, with two eastern states -- Assam and Bihar, which borders Nepal -- bearing the brunt of the deluge.
