The number of casualties keeps rising. The situation in Nepal, where torrential rains have caused severe flooding, is becoming increasingly grim. A team of reporters from the Korean Broadcasting System (KBS) visited the affected areas on the 14th and witnessed the devastation firsthand. On that day, the death toll from the floods and landslides that have been occurring since the 11th had already reached 41, with 18 still missing. The reporters saw a field that had turned into a muddy swamp, with bodies being brought in one after another. “They’re coming in too fast,” a worker at the scene said, overcome with emotion. The team witnessed a group of rescue workers and volunteers trying to rescue people from a house that had been swept away. The water level had receded, but the mud that had accumulated inside the house made it difficult to move. The reporters observed that the roads were severely damaged, with large cracks and deep holes. The Nepal government has announced that it will provide 100,000 rupees (approximately $1,000 USD) in compensation to the families of those who have died. The Korean government has also decided to provide $1 million in emergency aid to Nepal. The situation in Nepal continues to deteriorate, with more rain expected in the coming days. The Nepalese government and international aid organizations are working together to provide assistance to those affected by the disaster. The Korean government and people are deeply saddened by the loss of life and the suffering of the Nepalese people. The KBS team will continue to provide updates on the situation in Nepal as more information becomes available.
