Floodwaters of Sorrow: A Devastating Reminder of Nepal's Fragile Infrastructure The death toll from the recent floods along the Nepal Tibet border has surpassed 1,100, with tens of thousands still searching for missing loved ones.
The sheer scale of the disaster is a stark reminder of the fragility of Nepal's infrastructure and the vulnerability of its people.
At least 48 suspension bridges were destroyed in the flooding, including 28 that will need to be replaced entirely. This raises important questions about the maintenance and upkeep of Nepal's critical infrastructure.
