WATCH: Nepal Army Rescues Man Trapped On Rooftop Amid Flash Flood

Footage captured by the Nepal Army during flash floods in central Nepal showcases a young man being rescued from the roof of his flooded home. The dramatic rescue unfolded as the man waved his T-shirt to signal an approaching helicopter, which then transported him to safety. Amid the torrential rains, debris floated through the flooded area, highlighting the dire conditions faced by rescuers.

The Nepal Army urged vigilance and safety in their post, emphasizing the ongoing challenges of reaching those isolated by the disaster. The Bhote Koshi River's sudden surge triggered the crisis, impacting not only Nepal but also reaching China's Gyirong area and disrupting transport and utilities. Rescue efforts persist as authorities maintain high alert to locate and assist those missing, with over 350 people, including 105 Indians, reported unaccounted for.
