Authorities in Nepal have warned of potential new flooding on Sunday and advised people living in flood-affected districts to stay vigilant following an increase in the Bhotekoshi River's water level
Flood warning notifications were issued to people's phones throughout Sunday morning as rescue workers tried to evacuate a main route connecting Kathmandu to one of the places most severely affected by Wednesday's devastating floods.
In the town of Galchhi, a group of residents sought higher ground on a nearby bridge and watched as the river roared by.
People pointed to enormous rocks that had been washed downriver during the earlier floods, as others standing on a suspension bridge over the water were warned off with whistles.
The thick grey-brown muck that has covered entire communities in the worst-hit flood areas was visible along the river, with entire houses, cars, and farm tractors protruding from it. Parts of the rice terraces along the river were dropped into the river due to landslides.
