Ilam flood victims still await promised relief, struggle in temporary shelters

As many as 34 families displaced; tarpaulins offer little protection against winter.

The nights of October 4 and 5 brought disaster to Rajduwali, Ilam-10, when a sudden flash flood in Maikhola (stream) swept through the settlement in minutes. Homes, fields, and crops were washed away, leaving residents with only their lives and the memory of that night.
