Following the devastating Bhotekoshi flood in Nepal, 111 families find themselves displaced and facing a particularly poignant Dashain festival. Instead of celebrating in their homes, these families are sheltering in a monastery in Kathmandu, grappling with loss and uncertainty. The festival, typically a time for joy and family reunion, now serves as a painful reminder of those they’ve lost and the lives disrupted by the flooding. They are currently grieving loved ones while anxiously awaiting news and opportunities to return to their villages. Their future remains unclear as they contemplate the long road to recovery and rebuilding. The situation highlights the lasting emotional and practical impacts of natural disasters on vulnerable communities in Nepal.
