This woman in Nepal doesn't know if her husband is still alive ...
Days after catastrophic flash floods.
SANTOSHI DANGOL
Nepali Resident
What do we do? Who do we tell?
What do we do?
My mind is numb, I can't make sense of anything. I am clueless.
Where is he? Is he in a hospital?
22-year-old Santoshi is still searching for her husband.
I feel he will return,
but I am scared after seeing the [pictures of] dead bodies.
A landslide and flash floods struck the Himalayan border region
between Nepal and China
on Aug 26.
A glacier collapse sent down
a surge of water, mud and debris
that swept away entire villages,
homes and roads.
3,000+ people are still missing
across Nepal and China's Tibet.
At least 750 people have been killed.
Experts say the glacial collapse
that caused the devastating flash floods
was likely because
of the climate crisis.
Human Rights Watch says
communities least responsible
for the climate crisis
are at the forefront
of its impacts.
