Nepal's Struggle: Ongoing Rescue Operations Following Flash Floods

As the search for survivors continues in Nepal two weeks after devastating flash floods, the situation remains grim. The number of confirmed dead and missing individuals is on the rise, leaving families in anguish as they cling to hope.

In Kathmandu, public hospitals and military bases are displaying hundreds of photographs of those unaccounted for, drawing in desperate relatives seeking information about their loved ones. The ongoing rescue operations have become a race against time, with authorities striving to assist survivors, locate those still alive, and identify the deceased.

Rescue teams are undertaking frequent helicopter missions, as air access is crucial for reaching remote regions that have been isolated by the disaster. Additionally, a wave of support has emerged from civil society, particularly from Nepal’s youth, who are actively participating in humanitarian efforts. FRANCE 24's reporters, Alban Alvarez and Fantine Dantzer, recently accompanied a humanitarian convoy navigating one of the country's most perilous roads, showcasing the collective effort to provide aid and comfort in this challenging time.
