More than 100 people are now known to have been killed in flooding across south Asia.

Monsoon rains led to heavy flooding in parts of Nepal, India and Bangladesh, forcing millions of people to flee their homes.

Officials in Nepal say that 64 people have died and thirty-one are missing, with most of the deaths being caused by landslides.

Around 4.3 million people in the Indian states of Assam and Bihar have been displaced due to rising waters.

In Bangladesh, 190,000 people have been forced to flee their homes, while over 100,000 Rohingya refugees have been displaced as flooding hit a number of camps in the Cox's Bazar district.
