Authorities In Nepal Warn Of Potential For Fresh Flooding

DHADING, Nepal (AP) — Authorities in Nepal are warning of potential fresh flooding as water levels rise in the Bhotekoshi River. Residents in flood-affected districts have been urged to stay alert. Flood warnings were sent to phones on Sunday as rescue crews worked to clear a major highway. Wednesday’s catastrophic floods killed at least 800 people and left more than 3,000 missing in Nepal and Tibet. Residents in Dhading, one of the worst-hit regions, began returning to their ruined homes. Meanwhile, Malaysia has pledged $1 million in aid and will send a disaster search-and-rescue team to assist with relief efforts.
