Kathmandu Flood Survivors Find Shelter in Monastery
Hundreds of flash-flood survivors are sheltering in a Kathmandu monastery; a young survivor recounts the devastation.
Hundreds of people displaced by flash floods in Kathmandu have taken refuge in a local monastery, where they are receiving shelter and support. Among them is 20-year-old Tenzin Dolma Ghale, who was seen on Monday drawing the border area that was hardest hit by the sudden deluge.
Ghale, speaking from the monastery, described the impact of the floods that have disrupted lives across the region. The monastery has become a critical safe haven for families who lost their homes or were forced to evacuate as waters rose rapidly.
The flash floods, which struck with little warning, have left many residents in the capital grappling with the loss of property and the immediate need for basic necessities. Relief efforts are underway, with the monastery serving as a central point for those seeking refuge.
Authorities and local organizations are working to assess the full extent of the damage and coordinate aid for the affected communities. The scene at the monastery underscores the ongoing humanitarian needs as survivors begin to piece together their next steps.
