Nearly two months after devastating floods struck Nepal, residents of Devighat are struggling to rebuild their homes and communities. The overflowing Trishuli River swept away houses and severely damaged others, leaving families facing an uncertain future. Some residents have begun rebuilding their homes, while efforts are underway to restore essential infrastructure, including bridges connecting communities across the river. However, recovery efforts are being complicated by further disasters, including flooding triggered by a rock avalanche in central Nepal over the weekend. More than 300 people were rescued, with rescue operations continuing and emergency resources stretched across multiple affected areas. Residents say they remain uncertain about rebuilding their lives, with some losing homes they had spent decades working to build.
