According to the report, 493 men, 123 women and 203 children are among the dead, while a large number of men and women are among the injured.
Monsoon rains affected 8,658 houses, of which 2,070 were completely destroyed and 6,588 were partially damaged. The floods have also affected 104 health centers, making it more difficult to provide medical services.
