Nepalese authorities said
Monday they feared an outbreak of diseases as they attempt to reach thousands
of people stranded by flooding that has already killed more than 100 people,
reports AP.
The swirling floodwaters have even crossed into
neighboring India, submerging farmland and hundreds of villages. At least 84
Indians have died, either from the floodwaters or from torrential rains,
authorities said.

Nath Dhakal of Nepal's National Emergency Operation Center said four
helicopters with food, emergency supplies, medicine and medical workers were
sent to villages in the west of the country.
