Bridges gone, roads damaged, villages cut off from relief

Helicopters and temporary crossings are helping deliver food and other essentials to cut-off communities in Rasuwa and Nuwakot, but officials say restoring roads and bridges must be an immediate priority.

In Tarsama, ward 1 of Gosainkunda Rural Municipality in Rasuwa, relief workers on Tuesday measured out rice and lentils into small containers before distributing them to flood-displaced families.
