Dramatic Video Shows Woman and Two Children Narrowly Escaping Nepal Flash Flooding
A newly shared video shows the mother and children reaching higher ground as floodwaters surge behind them.
- A newly shared video from last Wednesday shows a woman and two children narrowly escaping violent flash floods in Betrawati, Nepal. The mother sprinted to higher ground, falling once while desperately holding the children as floodwaters rushed behind them.
- Disastrous flooding across Nepal and China has killed more than 1,100 people, with roughly 4,500 individuals remaining unaccounted for. A school Principal saved 900 children before his school was washed away.
- Around 900 workers are missing at various hydropower projects along the Trishuli River, according to the Independent Power Producers Association. It remains unclear how many were inside the reinforced Tunnels when the water hit.
- Brigadier General Ujwal Rana, involved in search-and-rescue efforts, stated, "Tunnels are filled with liquid like mud. It's not possible to complete this task in two or three days." He warned operations may take three to four months.
- Prime Minister Balendra Shah noted that tunnel rescue operations will only progress "once the mud dumped by the flood dries" and a "stable footing is established." This underscores the dependency on environmental conditions.
