A 97-year-old woman, Guna Maya Bohara, was dramatically rescued from the ruins of an elderly care home in Nepal four days after a devastating earthquake. Bohara had been trapped under rubble for approximately four hours before rescue efforts reached her. Her survival is being hailed as a remarkable feat, particularly given her age and the widespread destruction caused by the quake. Beyond this recent ordeal, Bohara’s life has been defined by both loss and extraordinary resilience. She has spent over a decade living at the now-destroyed care facility, building a strong community and family amongst its residents and staff. Her rescue represents a beacon of hope amidst the ongoing humanitarian crisis, highlighting the strength of the human spirit in the face of adversity. The story underscores the significant impact the earthquake has had on vulnerable populations.
