Nepalese villagers carry their belongings while wading through a flooded street to move to safer ground, at Bardia, in western Nepal, Aug. 15, 2014.

Officials in Nepal say the death toll from landslides and flooding has reached 101, with more than 120 people still missing.

Last week＇s torrential rains triggered the landslides and flooding, destroying entire villages, stranding thousands and damaging roads across the country＇s western plains bordering India.

Emergency officials say four helicopters laden with food, emergency supplies, medicine and medical workers have been dispatched to the villages.

Authorities say they are fearful the lack of clean drinking water could lead to an outbreak of cholera, a potentially deadly disease spread by eating or drinking food or water contaminated by human feces.

A massive landslide earlier this month smashed into villages near Katmandu, killing 156 people.

Heavy rains in neighboring northern India has led to the deaths of several people and flooded some villages in recent days.

Hundreds of people die every year in floods and landslides during the monsoon season in South Asia.
