New video footage released by outlets shows people running and evacuating before floodwaters hit a settlement in Nepal’s Rasuwa region. The clip, described as about six minutes long, depicts locals fleeing on foot and in vehicles as water begins surging through the area.
The reports place the incident on Wednesday, when floodwaters move rapidly and destroy the settlement within minutes after the surge begins. While both sources focus on the same footage and timeline, they provide limited additional details about casualties, the precise cause of the flooding, or the extent of damage beyond the settlement being overwhelmed. The emphasis in the coverage is on the urgency and speed of the flooding as residents attempt to escape.
