Anusa Thapa Magar returned to Nepal from the Maldives after learning about severe flooding that devastated her hometown, Betrawati.

Survivors like Magar trek daily from temporary shelters to search for remnants of their lives, including personal belongings, parts of their homes, or missing loved ones. Authorities report over 1,386 deaths and 5,130 missing persons, with more than 13,700 rescued.
