24 days after flood, hunger grips three Rusuwa wards
Summary
Twenty-four days after the Bhotekoshi flood, residents of wards 1, 2 and 3 of Amachhodingmo Rural Municipality in Rasuwa are facing severe food shortages as bridges remain destroyed and relief supplies have failed to reach them. Families are surviving on potatoes and borrowed food while Gre Secondary School’s hostel stays closed because there is not enough food to reopen it.
Key Points
- Residents of wards 1, 2 and 3 in Amachhodingmo Rural Municipality are running out of food 24 days after the Bhotekoshi flood.
- Destroyed bridges have cut the villages off, delaying relief and leaving some supplies to rot or arrive in too small quantities.
- Gre Secondary School’s hostel, which houses around 200 students, remains closed because there is not enough food.
- The flood has left widespread devastation across Rasuwa, Nuwakot and Dhading districts, with thousands still missing.
