[Exclusive] “Nepal devastated, entire civilization gone...2,000 body bags run out”

In a desolate landscape transformed into a desert-like plain, the task of respectfully burying the dead and managing their dignity is perhaps the most challenging. With over 3,000 bodies discovered in a single district, two thousand body bags allocated for distribution across the country are already depleted, as reported by Sagar Srheshta, 39, the head of the Nepal Red Cross Society's disaster and crisis management division in a video interview with Hanyakore on the 30th.

He emphasized that borders are no longer a barrier amidst disasters, stating that responsibility for Nepal extends to China and India as well. A minimum of 900 people are believed to have lost their lives, with 4,200 others still missing following the massive floods that struck Nepal and the Tibetan autonomous region of China on the 26th.

Srheshta, who joined the response efforts upon receiving reports from his colleagues, witnessed the devastation firsthand, describing the landscape as if "no civilization ever existed."
