In Ajman, a 29-year-old Nepali expat named Paribartan Nepal lost his family home he had built brick by brick in flash floods. Paribartan, who works as a Demi Chef de Partie at a bakery and restaurant, had spent years earning money in the UAE to construct his single-storey house with his family. The home was located in Belkotgadhi-7, Nuwakot, near the Trishuli river.
However, during a devastating flash flood on August 26, the house was buried under mud and slush in a matter of minutes. Paribartan expressed his shock and devastation, stating that they had nothing before and the entire house was lost within minutes. His parents managed to escape the flood and are temporarily staying with relatives.
Despite the loss, Paribartan remains grateful that his parents survived, as the contrast between the past and present is particularly painful for him. He plans to travel to Nepal for a one-month emergency leave to help his family during this difficult time.
