193 people have been found dead in floods and landslides that followed the heavy monsoon rains in Nepal over the weekend.
31 people are still missing and 96 have been reported injured, according to a statement from the police.
Many of the deaths have occurred in the capital, Kathmandu. At least three buses have been buried in a landslide on the highway about a mile and a half from the city, which has been isolated all weekend as several of the roads out of the city have been blocked by landslides.
