KATHMANDU, Aug 2 (Xinhua): The total number of death toll from floods has reached 91 in Nepal as seven more deaths were reported.
Those dead Wednesday included at least four children, leading website eKantipur.com reported Thursday.
More than 2,000 people displaced in the waterlogged Nepalgunj in Mid-Western Development Region have not been able to return home for the last eight days.
The water level in flood-affected Nepalgunj, some 370 km west of Kathmandu, surged once again Tuesday as the Rapti and Daduwa Rivers overflowed following Monday night's heavy rainfall.
