Nepal is facing criticism for slow relief efforts after monsoon floods killed at least 225 people. Survivors in Kathmandu and remote areas report inadequate support, with many still awaiting help. The floods, worsened by climate change, affected the poorest residents living in slums. Authorities provided temporary shelter, but many were forced to leave before they were ready. Over 4,000 people were rescued, and 24 remain missing. Experts noted that the government did not prepare adequately for the severe weather, despite warnings of intense storms.
