APPG British Hindus Message on Nepal Tragedy

APPG British Hindus extends its deep condolences, heartfelt grief and prayers to the people of Nepal and all affected communities from around the world following the devastating flash floods in the border region with Tibet. The information emerging from the region is very disturbing, with entire villages submerged, hundreds of lives lost and many people still unaccounted for. The tragedy is beyond words and highlights the impact of climate change leading to extreme events. Hundreds of tourists and pilgrims from around the world visit the region during this season for religious pilgrimages. A number of Hindu pilgrims were in the area for pilgrimages including the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra. The loss of life and destruction is unimaginable. We stand with humanity in this time of grief and pray for the families who are worried about their loved ones and for those who are still unaccounted for.
