KATHMANDU, Nepal — The death toll from flooding and landslides in Nepal has reached at least 100, with dozens of people still missing. Police on Sunday morning warned the death toll was expected to rise further as reports come in from villages across the mountainous country.

At least 104 people have died in Nepal, the authorities said, after three days of incessant monsoon rains unleashed flooding and landslides across the small Himalayan nation, which has been increasingly pummeled by the effects of climate change.
