The bodies of three workers were found near the town of Melamchi in the Sindhupalchok area, northeast of Kathmandu, which was hit by a flash flood on Wednesday that also forced many people to flee their homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The country’s interior ministry said 25 people went missing as a result of the floods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The victims worked in the Melamchi water supply project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monsoon rains, which usually begin in June and last until September, kill hundreds of people each year, mostly in mountainous Nepal<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heavy rain on Tuesday damaged roads, destroyed bridges, washed away fish farms and livestock, and destroyed houses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Authorities said hundreds of people were forced to move to public shelters, including schools, barns, and tents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Relief agencies said the crisis this year could exacerbate the social and economic problems of the country, which has been hit hard by COVID-19. Nepal has one of the highest positive coronavirus test results in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
