'Son, Wife Swept Ayaw In Seconds': Eyewitness Recounts Nepal Flood Horror
Within minutes, the flood surged downstream, sweeping much of the settlement in the Rasuwa, Nuwakot, and Dhading districts of Nepal.
Keshav Prasad Baral, a 68-year-old survivor from Nepal's Rasuwa district, recounts the traumatic experience of witnessing his wife buried alive in the catastrophic flash floods. The horrific event occurred when a massive wall of mud swept through their home, trapping Baral's wife under the debris. Speaking from his hospital bed, Baral expressed his despair, saying, "My wife is still somewhere beneath the mud.
She's gone." The disaster was triggered by a magnitude 5.2 glacial collapse, which sent debris downstream and triggered deadly flooding. Prime Minister Balendra Shah assured the affected families that the state would provide all its means and resources to support them through this difficult time.
