Flooding and landslides triggered by heavy rain have swept across Nepal, leaving 11 dead and many injured according to officials.

On Tuesday evening (June 15), the Melamchi River began to flood, damaging the village of Melamchighyange, with footage filmed by local resident Deep Kiran showing building foundations submerged in river water.

Footage from the Helambu area on June 17 shows roads and rivers choked with mud, while JCBs and excavators can be seen working to free up blocked roads.

One of the most worst affected areas is Sindhupalchok region, where in the Helambu area, a local boy named Deep Khadka went to his house on June 17 after a landslide and found it totally devastated.

Footage shot by Khadka features him explaining: "I lived here with my family and uncles, mud is all over inside my house, my farm lands are gone into the water. There is thick mud everywhere and heavy waves of muddy water still there."
