NEPAL FLOODING DISASTER - UPDATE
News reports from Nepal are heartbreaking, with over 700 dead, 3,000 missing and 10,000 families with no homes. There are now over 20,000 security forces in the border region, working to try to find and rescue any survivors. The damage to roads and bridges, together with the difficult terrain make these efforts very difficult. There are fears of further flooding and this makes the recovery work more challenging.
We have received reports from our partners in FPC Nepal and other friends who work there. While there are no FPC Churches in the border region, there are several churches further down the river towards Chitwan. Sadly it is now reported that several people from those churches, who were working in the affected area, are now reported missing.
Sadly many of the other churches in the area have been devastated – in both the Rashuwa and Nuwakot areas, it has been reported that over 100 believers are dead or missing from 15-20 churches, and many of the church buildings have been damaged or destroyed.
At this stage it is not possible to travel to the affected areas so our partners are preparing for aid distribution as soon as possible and their desire is to distribute relief to those who have been directly impacted by this disaster.
Please pray for those who have lost loved ones, those who are waiting to hear from family members who are missing and those who have been displaced by this disaster. Pray for the rescue workers and pray for the country as a whole at this very difficult time.
