00:00:02.836 --> 00:00:04.337
[Newscaster voices]: Nepal is

00:00:04.337 --> 00:00:05.296
grappling with

00:00:05.296 --> 00:00:06.631
extensive damage after

00:00:06.631 --> 00:00:07.799
torrential rains that

00:00:07.799 --> 00:00:09.009
swept across the country.

00:00:09.009 --> 00:00:12.095
In Nepal at least 148 people

00:00:12.095 --> 00:00:13.013
have been killed

00:00:13.013 --> 00:00:14.889
by flooding and landslides.

00:00:14.889 --> 00:00:16.474
Entire neighborhoods

00:00:16.474 --> 00:00:18.143
in Kathmandu were inundated

00:00:18.143 --> 00:00:19.436
after the heaviest rains

00:00:19.436 --> 00:00:21.199
in more than two decades.

00:00:32.421 --> 00:00:34.421
[footsteps walking on dry leaves]

00:00:39.410 --> 00:00:41.912
[indistinct dialogue]

00:00:56.347 --> 00:00:58.892
Namaste, sir.

00:00:58.892 --> 00:01:01.144
I am from Ward No. 2,

00:01:01.144 --> 00:01:03.396
Sinkot Rural Municipality,

00:01:03.396 --> 00:01:06.733
formerly Ward No. 5. My name

00:01:06.733 --> 00:01:09.652
is Amar Singh Bhandari.

00:01:09.652 --> 00:01:12.989
I do farming for my livelihood.

00:01:12.989 --> 00:01:14.574
I have given education to my

00:01:14.574 --> 00:01:16.785
children. I am a person

00:01:16.785 --> 00:01:19.162
with a disabled leg.

00:01:19.162 --> 00:01:22.082
Whether it rains or snows, it

00:01:22.082 --> 00:01:24.751
never comes when we need it.

00:01:24.751 --> 00:01:27.170
It either pours continuously,

00:01:27.170 --> 00:01:30.715
or doesn’t come at all.

00:01:30.715 --> 00:01:33.426
I can't carry heavy loads.

00:01:33.426 --> 00:01:35.887
If someone calls me disabled,

00:01:35.887 --> 00:01:40.183
it pains me.

00:01:40.183 --> 00:01:42.769
The impacts are endless.

00:01:44.938 --> 00:01:46.397
It hasn't rained in Humla

00:01:46.397 --> 00:01:48.108
from October last year

00:01:48.108 --> 00:01:50.401
until August this year.

00:01:53.822 --> 00:01:56.241
Then, it rained nonstop

00:01:56.241 --> 00:01:59.536
since August 17 or 18

00:01:59.536 --> 00:02:00.370
and damaged

00:02:00.370 --> 00:02:03.748
a lot of people's houses.

00:02:03.748 --> 00:02:05.375
My two-story house

00:02:05.375 --> 00:02:07.168
was completely destroyed.

00:02:34.136 --> 00:02:37.264
