Flooding and landslides in Nepal

Overview

Devastating floods and landslides in Nepal have caused widespread destruction, particularly in the Rasuwa, Nuwakot, and Dhading districts. The disaster has resulted in hundreds of deaths and numerous missing persons, with reports indicating at least 580 deaths and thousands still missing.

Rescue efforts have yielded several survival stories. In the Rasuwa region, 94-year-old Gunakesari Bohara was rescued from a destroyed elderly care facility. Similarly, 8-year-old Zoyal Ghale survived by climbing a tree in a forest after being at school when the floods struck. His reunion with his mother, Matti Maya Tamang, was facilitated by journalist Sahana Bajracharya after the boy was located at a hospital in Nuwakot. Ghale was airlifted to Kathmandu with facial injuries and a fractured leg.

In a more recent rescue, a five-year-old girl named Manisha was pulled alive from under rubble two days after the disaster, after rescuers mistook her sounds for a trapped animal. She is currently recovering in a Kathmandu hospital.

Amidst the search for the missing, the family of Enisa Leković, a Serbian citizen, is seeking her whereabouts. Leković was traveling by bus toward Dhunche in the Rasuwa district when the floods struck on August 26.

UNICEF reports that at least 17,000 children have been affected. The agency is collaborating with the Nepalese government to assist in identifying and reuniting separated children with their families.
