Nepal Floods: Survivors Hauled to Safety with Makeshift Zip Line


Kathmandu: Nepali authorities have erected a makeshift zip line to help stranded residents travel across the swollen waters of the Trishuli river after last week’s deadly flash floods swept away bridges, leaving them cut off from the outside world. Some were in need of urgent treatment, medicines, food, and other essentials.



According to France24.com, the flash floods created a dire situation for many residents who were left isolated and in desperate need of assistance. The innovative zip line solution has provided a crucial lifeline, allowing emergency services to reach those in need and deliver necessary supplies while also enabling residents to access medical care and other vital services. The quick response has been instrumental in mitigating the impact of the disaster on the affected communities.
