These were someone's blankets, clothes and bedding.
The flash flood that tore through Rasuwa on 26 August gave families almost no warning. It wasn't caused by rain. High in the Langtang range, around two square kilometres of glacier and rock broke away and crashed down the mountain, sending a surge of water down the Bhote Koshi river at close to 190 kilometres an hour. It travelled 20 kilometres in under ten minutes.
Everything in its path was hit. 33 bridges were swept away and 69 kilometres of road damaged. 18 schools and 7 health facilities were damaged or destroyed. And with them went the ordinary things that make a house a home.
Rebuilding means replacing far more than what you see in this picture. Your gift helps our partners give families what they need to start again.
