In the aftermath of devastating floods in Nepal, the search for missing individuals continues amidst extremely challenging conditions, leaving entire communities struggling to cope.
Dil Bahadur Shrestha is among those desperately sifting through the debris, using only his hands to search for his wife, Jamuna, who has been missing since last week’s disaster. With no tools at his disposal, he faces the grim reality of searching through the mud and wreckage where their home once stood.
On the fateful morning of the floods, Jamuna was at their residence in Betrawati, tending to the family’s chickens and goats along the Trishuli River. The couple had spent 50 years together, and the uncertainty of her fate weighs heavily on Dil Bahadur’s heart.
