A freak storm tore down houses and overturned cars and trucks as it swept acrossat least 27 people and leaving more than 600 injured, officials said Monday as a major rescue operation gathered pace.

Whole villages have been flattened and families were left mourning the death of relatives killed by trees and the debris, an AFP photographer in the stricken region said. Overturned cars blocked some roads. “We rushed out to help. A man had died right next to our building under a tree. People had fractured bones and many had head injuries,” Das added.

Prakash Tharu, a volunteer in Bara district, said the devastation caused by the storm had left “a desperate need for food and relief.”“Security bodies including the army have been working intensely since Sunday night on rescues and relief,” said Rajesh Poudel, Bara’s district chief.
