The United Nations has called for urgent international assistance after devastating floods in China and Nepal killed more than 1,300 people and caused widespread destruction.
The severe flooding has forced thousands of people from their homes, damaged roads, bridges and other critical infrastructure, and disrupted access to food, clean water and medical services.
UN agencies have warned that survivors urgently need humanitarian assistance, including emergency shelter, food, clean drinking water and healthcare. Rescue teams are continuing efforts to reach isolated communities and search for people who remain missing.
The disaster has also raised concerns about the growing impact of extreme weather events across Asia, with vulnerable communities facing increasing risks from severe floods and other climate-related disasters.
The United Nations has urged governments and international humanitarian organisations to provide rapid support to help affected communities recover and prevent the humanitarian crisis from worsening.
