Post-monsoon Assessment

Nepal is no stranger to annual monsoon-induced disasters. However, this year's such disasters proved to be more calamitous and also more challenging even by our standard. This year's monsoon disasters have caused the highest human casualties in Nepal since 2009 and five times more than last year's, with the September rainfall being the highest in the past 50 years, according to the statistics of the monsoon disaster updated by the National Disaster Risk Reduction Authority (NDRRMA) under the Ministry of Home Affairs.
