Torrential rains have unleashed chaos in Nepal, claiming at least 217 lives and displacing countless families after rivers burst their banks last week. Rescue teams are racing against time to locate 28 missing people and aid 143 injured survivors, according to local authorities.
‘Everything Was Swept Away’
Residents described harrowing scenes as floodwaters engulfed homes overnight. ‘The water rose so fast—we barely escaped with our lives,’ one survivor told CGTN Stringer reporters. ‘All our belongings… gone.’ The relentless downpour, which began September 26, triggered landslides and collapsed roads, isolating entire villages.
Rescue Efforts Intensify 🌟
Emergency crews are battling blocked infrastructure to deliver food, medicine, and temporary shelters. International aid groups have joined Nepal’s government in mobilizing relief, but damaged communication networks are complicating the response.
As climate experts link the disaster to erratic weather patterns, global attention turns to Nepal’s resilience. For now, families mourn—and hope for relief.
