Mother Reunited with 8-Year-Old Who Climbed Trees to Survive Nepal Floods
UNICEF said at least 17,000 children were affected as Nepal and government workers reunite families separated by the floods.
- On Friday, 8-year-old Zoyal Ghale reunited with his mother, Matti Maya Tamang, in Nuwakot after escaping Nepal's deadly floods by climbing trees and surviving a broken leg.
- Wednesday's flooding in Rasuwa destroyed the local school and market, leaving the landscape unrecognizable; Tamang feared her children had perished as water and mud leveled entire communities within minutes.
- Tamang searched multiple shelters before finding her younger son and finally Ghale, whom Reuters encountered at Chakra Dev Hospital on Thursday clutching two 10-rupee notes.
- UNICEF reported that at least 17,000 children were affected by floods across Rasuwa, Nuwakot, and Dhading, and is working with the Nepal government to reunite separated families.
- With at least 580 confirmed dead and around 2,500 missing across Nepal and China's Tibet, recovery efforts continue; Ghale's father, a construction labourer in Japan, is traveling to rejoin his family.
