Nepal Floods Leave Families Broken | Vancouver News

A Nova Scotia woman, Ang Faulkner, is heartbroken as flash floods in Nepal sweep away hundreds of her relatives and friends—many still missing or presumed dead. After days of silence, she finally reached her parents via a solar-charged phone call, who described scenes of utter devastation and the haunting sounds of people drowning in torrents. One cousin lost his wife, hotel, and life savings when a wave taller than a six-story building swept through their village. Her aunt and uncle, also hotel owners, remain unaccounted for, with video showing their property obliterated. Experts link the disaster to a glacial collapse triggered by seismic activity near Nepal-Tibet border, burying villages like Syabrubesi under mud. Over 1,200 confirmed dead, 4,000 missing—including many children sent to boarding schools. Faulkner pleads for global support to rebuild lives, directing donations to Nepal’s Prime Minister’s Disaster Relief Fund.
