Flash floods swept through parts of central Nepal on Wednesday after torrential rains and a surge in the Bhote Koshi River near the Tibet border. The flooding damaged bridges, villages and hydropower projects, and hundreds of people were reported missing. In Delhi, many Nepali workers spent the day anxiously making calls and sending messages to loved ones in the affected regions, but received little clarity as reports of deaths and missing people emerged. The disaster left families in Nepal cut off, and those abroad struggled to get information about their relatives.
