A week after severe flooding struck Nepal, survivors are grappling with the horror of lost family members and the grim possibility that many more victims lie hidden under debris and mud. In Dhading district, one woman recounted how her father, mother, sister and sister's children were all carried away before her eyes, according to accounts from the area.
Al Jazeera footage from the region shows residents searching through thick mud and rubble, with many expressing fears that the bodies of the missing have not yet been recovered. The floodwaters, which followed days of intense rainfall, destroyed homes and swept away entire families, leaving communities in shock and mourning.
Local authorities have been coordinating rescue efforts, but access to the most affected villages remains difficult due to damaged roads and landslides. The full scale of the disaster is still emerging, with survivors bracing for more heartbreak as the search continues.
