  "account": "The Nepalese Youth for Climate Action (NYCA) reports that the flash floods which devastated the Himalayan region have left many people traumatized and anxious. While flash floods are common in Nepal, the devastation this time is unprecedented. Over a thousand people have been confirmed dead, with more than 1,900 others still missing, including six South Africans. Several hundred are believed to be trapped in hydropower tunnels as search and rescue efforts persist. Aakriti Dotel, the National Network Coordinator at the NYCA, stated that the community is still struggling to cope with the situation. She noted that although they have experienced similar floods in the past, this one is particularly devastating and has left them in a traumatised state. This experience is also exacerbating their climate anxiety.",
