Devastating floods in northern Nepal, triggered eight days prior, have resulted in over 1,200 confirmed deaths and more than 4,200 people remain missing. Rescue efforts are hampered by significant logistical challenges including blocked roads, destroyed bridges, and shortages of equipment and coordination. Despite these difficulties, search and rescue teams continue working to locate survivors. Families of the missing are beginning to hold religious ceremonies, both Buddhist and Hindu, to honor their loved ones, increasingly with little hope of finding them alive. Reporting from the Pashupatinath temple, a major Hindu pilgrimage site near Kathmandu, shows the growing sense of mourning. The scale of the disaster presents a massive humanitarian crisis for the nation.
