KATHMANDU – Covering the aftermath of the catastrophic floods in Nepal is not just physically dangerous; it is an emotional burden that reporters on the ground describe as "crushing." The landscape is marked by quicksand-like mud and the stench of rotting flesh, creating a scene that one correspondent said defies verbal description.
Yet, despite the horror, the Nepalese people are making a concerted effort to reach out. Survivors are actively urging international journalists to document the scale of the destruction, hoping that global attention will translate into aid and long-term support for their recovery.
