Nepal: Rescue efforts continue in the aftermath of a flash flooding disaster

#air #flash flood #flood #flooding #France #Nepal #REACH

Two weeks after the devastating flash floods, the number of dead and missing continues to rise.

Civil society has also mobilised, particularly Nepal’s Generation Z. From Kathmandu to Betrawati, FRANCE 24's reporters Alban Alvarez and Fantine Dantzer accompanied a humanitarian convoy along one of the country’s most treacherous roads.
