Update as reports come in
Catastrophic flash flooding and landslides struck northern Nepal and the Nepal Tibet border region, devastating communities along the Bhote Koshi and Trishuli river corridor. Homes, bridges, schools, churches and roads have been destroyed, leaving families in urgent need of shelter, food and hope. Ghangri Church has established a Relief and Rehabilitation Fund and our leaders and members are serving affected families directly, including in the hard to reach Himalayan villages where our churches are rooted.
The leadership of Ghangri Church has prayerfully decided to establish a Relief and Rehabilitation Fund to support affected families and communities. As an initial contribution, our church leadership has committed funds from the church account toward this relief effort, and church members are contributing according to their ability.
Our leaders are in contact with home fellowships and village churches in the Arun and Bhote Koshi corridors to confirm who is safe, what has been lost, and what is most urgently needed: shelter materials, food, and clean water.
A glacial ice and rock collapse sends a surge of water, mud and debris down the river system. Entire communities are swept away or buried as the flood moves through Rasuwa and Nuwakot and continues downstream.
