Drought Hit Madhesh Province/ Terai Of Nepal
A farmer stands in a field in Bara district of Nepal in Madhesh Province bordering India after a dry spell of drought in mid-monsoon on July 25, 2025. An emergency cabinet meeting on July 23, 2025, declares Nepal's Madhesh Province a disaster crisis zone as severe drought hits the nation's breadbasket. The unusual absence of rain in the Southern plains of Nepal in mid-monsoon pushes the region into a state of crisis. The drought leaves seedbeds dry, and paddy saplings wither, sparking fears of an impending food shortage in Nepal's major rice-producing region. The scarcity of water during mid-monsoon in the Tarai, Nepal's food basket, threatens not only farmers' livelihoods but also the national economy. (Photo by Subaas Shrestha/NurPhoto)
