NASeA Expresses Deepest Condolences Following Devastating Floods and Mudslides in Rasuwa

NASeA Expresses Deepest Condolences Following Devastating Floods and Mudslides in Rasuwa

The Nepalese Association in Southeast America (NASeA) expresses its profound sorrow and heartfelt solidarity with the families and communities affected by the devastating flash flood and mudslide that struck Rasuwa District and surrounding areas in the early hours of Wednesday.

With more than 400 people reported missing and the number continuing to rise, the disaster has caused extensive loss of life, displacement of families, and severe damage to homes, villages, roads, bridges, and critical infrastructure. Preliminary reports suggest that seismic activity may have triggered an avalanche, sending snowmelt, debris, and floodwaters into the Bhote Koshi River, resulting in catastrophic flooding throughout the region and downstream communities along the Trishuli River corridor.

This tragedy has deeply resonated with Nepali communities across the globe. Despite the distance, we remain united in our concern and compassion for those affected. Our thoughts are with the families awaiting news of missing loved ones and with all those who have suffered unimaginable loss and hardship during this difficult time

NASeA extends its sincere gratitude to the Nepal Army, Nepal Police, Armed Police Force, health professionals, emergency responders, and volunteers who continue to work tirelessly in rescue and relief efforts under extremely difficult conditions. Their dedication and courage bring hope during this time of immense hardship.

We call upon the national and international community to support ongoing humanitarian, relief, and recovery efforts to help affected families rebuild their lives.

In this moment of grief, NASeA stands united with the people of Nepal.

We pray for the safe recovery of those still missing, for comfort and strength for grieving families, and for the swift recovery and rebuilding of the affected communities. May hope, resilience, and unity guide Nepal through this difficult time.

NASeA Joins Candlelight Vigils Across the Southeast to Honor Nepal’s Brave Gen Z Martyrs

The Nepalese Association in Southeast America (NASeA) participated in a series of solemn candlelight vigils held across Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Florida to honor the lives lost during the historic Gen Z-led protests in Nepal. These gatherings served as a powerful tribute to the courage and sacrifice of young Nepalis who stood against corruption and injustice, sparking a transformative movement that has ushered in a new era for the nation.

From Atlanta to Greensboro, from Columbia to Tampa, communities came together in unity and grief, lighting candles not only to mourn but to celebrate the indomitable spirit of a generation that refused to be silenced. Their bravery has not gone unnoticed—their actions have inspired global admiration and catalyzed the birth of a new Nepal.

NASeA extends heartfelt gratitude to the local organizations whose leadership and collaboration made these vigils possible:

  • Nepalese Association of Georgia
  • Nepali Cultural Center Atlanta
  • NRNA Georgia Chapter
  • International Nepali Literary Society – Georgia Chapter
  • Madheshi Association in America
  • South Carolina Association of Nepalese
  • Nepalese Association in Florida
  • Nepalese Student Association in University of South Carolina
  • The University of North Carolina at Greensboro

 

This collective moment marks only the beginning of NASeA’s renewed commitment to working hand-in-hand with local organizations to amplify the voices of the diaspora and support Nepal’s journey toward justice, equity, and democratic renewal.

Let the light of these candles guide us forward—toward unity, toward justice, and toward a future shaped by the courage of those who dared to dream.
