14 killed, 9 missing after heavy rains trigger landslides in Nepal

Every year, the monsoon brings widespread death and destruction across South Asia. However, in recent years, the number of fatal floods and landslides has increased significantly. Experts attribute this escalation to climate change and the increase in road construction. Since Thursday, certain areas of Nepal have been experiencing heavy rainfall, prompting disaster authorities in the Himalayan nation to issue warnings about flash floods in multiple rivers.
