A Community in Mourning
Massive flash floods have torn through communities along the Nepal-Tibet border, leaving devastation in their wake. At least 157 lives have been lost, and hundreds of people remain missing, including 24 Canadians. Tourists, workers and local residents are still unaccounted for as search and rescue teams work around the clock.
For the families waiting for news, every hour brings unbearable uncertainty. Homes have been swept away. Loved ones are missing. Entire communities are grappling with loss on a scale that is still becoming clear.
