Pawana Bhatta :
Please keep Rasuwa and all the affected parts of Nepal in your prayers.
Today a devastating flash flood swept through the Bhote Koshi River in Rasuwa, after a sudden and enormous surge of water came from the Tibet side. The exact cause is still being investigated but authorities and experts are considering a possible glacial lake outburst, ice avalanche, or sudden release of water after a natural river blockage.The impact has been heartbreaking. The areas of Rasuwa have suffered severe damage. The flood has swept away or damaged houses, businesses, roads, bridges, markets, security posts, customs facilities and other important infrastructure. The destruction has also affected hydropower projects and disrupted transportation and communication. Most painfully, people are missing and lives have been lost. Security personnel stationed in the affected areas have also gone missing. Let us pray for Nepal. May God protect those who are still in danger, strengthen the rescuers, comfort those who are grieving, provide for those who have lost everything, and bring hope and healing to every affected family.
