Nepal in Total Chaos!
Did you know that 18 people have died in Nepal due to monsoon rains? Yes, you read that right – 18 lives lost as a swollen mountain river swept away the main bridge connecting Nepal and China!
Friendship Bridge? More like Disaster Bridge!
The bridge over the Botekoshi River, known as the Friendship Bridge, is now just a pile of rubble. The flood destroyed not only the bridge but also several houses and trucks parked at the border for customs checks. Imagine this – hundreds of electric vehicles imported from China are now stuck because all trade on this route has completely stopped!
Rescuers in action, but the situation is critical
Nepalese police are on the ground with 95 rescuers, and more teams will join. Officials are assessing the damage and searching for the missing – among them 12 Nepalese and 6 Chinese citizens. This is not just a local problem; it’s an international mess!
Monsoon rains – Nepal’s annual enemy
Monsoon rains in Nepal last from June to September and cause chaos every year. This year, they were especially brutal, threatening infrastructure and people’s lives. Will anything change, or will we watch the same destruction scenes every year?
Why should we care?
Because this is a reminder of how fragile we are. And how one flood can stop trade between two countries, endanger hundreds of lives, and destroy infrastructure worth millions of dollars.
If you think this is far from us, think again. Global warming and climate change bring more extreme weather everywhere. Who knows what next year will bring?
Is anyone ready to face these problems, or will we just watch and wait for the next disaster?
Share your thoughts, maybe you have an idea to prevent such tragedies. Or just drop a sarcastic comment – we all know it’s easier to comment than to act, but hey, at least it’s fun!
Don’t be surprised if next year you hear the bridge has fallen again and people have suffered again. Nature doesn’t forgive, and we? We pretend not to see.
