Mudslide aftermath in affected town Storyline The devastating flash floods that struck Nepal's border region on Wednesday have left buildings in ruins, roads shattered, and the Trishuli River swollen in the worst-hit Rasuwa district. About 50 kilometers from the China-Nepal border port, a small town in Rasuwa has suffered extensive damage to buildings, including a post office that was completely destroyed. Several cars were seen stuck in the mud. The road linking the town to the border port -- a key trade route between Nepal and China and a vital passage for rescuers heading into hard-hit areas including Rasuwa -- has been completely washed away by the flash floods. Repair work is underway, with approximately 150 meters of the road already reopened to traffic. The mudslides have caused heavy casualties and widespread infrastructure damage. Nepal's National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority said that 734 bodies had been recovered from mudslide-hit areas as of 9 a.m. local time on Sunday, with 2,498 people still missing.
