Floods and landslides have killed at least 56 people in India and 12 in Nepal, authorities said, with the death toll climbing over three days of heavy rain and rising water levels.
Rivers in affected regions of both countries have risen above danger levels, according to officials, compounding the damage from landslides triggered by the saturated ground.
Authorities in both India and Nepal have continued to report casualty updates as search and rescue operations proceed in the hardest-hit areas. The exact number of people missing or displaced was not specified in available reporting.
Seasonal monsoon rains regularly bring flooding and landslide risk to parts of South Asia, with mountainous and low-lying regions in both countries particularly vulnerable during periods of intense rainfall.
