On 18 August the monsoon swollen Koshi river (the largest river in Nepal) burst its banks and effectively changed its course. The river now flows through the broken embankment cutting through several VDCs in Sunsari district of Nepal before entering into the state of Bihar in India, where it has flooded up to 1,000 villages and affected more than one million people.
