Nepal flash floods latest updates: Flood warnings buzzed on phones early Sunday as rescue crews cleared a major highway linking Kathmandu to a flood-hit area.
Veteran Nepali actress Manisha Koirala, a native of Kathmandu, expressed her deep sorrow over the recent catastrophic flash floods that have devastated her homeland. Speaking at the "In Solidarity with Nepal" event organized by spiritual leader Sadhguru, Koirala described the pain her country is enduring as "humongous, unexplainable."
She admitted to feeling speechless and confused, struggling to comprehend the scale of the tragedy. Koirala recounted her own experience visiting the affected areas, particularly Sindhupalchok, where she witnessed the devastation of collapsed homes and shattered lives. She wondered aloud why Nepal continues to suffer from such frequent natural disasters, expressing a plea for less pain and suffering.
The floods, which resulted from a glacial collapse near the Tibet border, claimed around 752 lives and left approximately 2,500 people missing, according to reports. Koirala emphasized the nation's resilience, stating that despite the immense challenge, people will come together, gather their strength, and move forward, step by step.
