00:07of ravi al-tani unfortunately it seems that nepal's disaster is repeating itself once again
00:17if you remember the flood that hit nepal a few weeks ago caused by the melting of the himalayan
00:23lakes and the falling of massive ice junk from these glacial lakes into the rivers causing a
00:31deluge that has claimed many victims in the nepal flood so far they tell you the confirmed death toll
00:38has reached around 1600 with the number of missing between 5000 and 6000 i mean could there really
00:46still be missing people you haven't found yet that means the total number of victims is close to 7
00:51000 as a result of this massive flood in nepal but do you remember when i mentioned it back
00:57then and we talked about that flood i said that it would happen again that this would keep happening
01:04and that what's coming will be even worse indeed it seems to be recurring in nepal though less frequently
01:12at least so far
01:16the water level of one of the rivers the taligandaki river has risen dramatically to the point where you
01:25actually start to see right in front of you on the river which swept away utility poles and destroyed
01:36electrical poles in the anapurna area of nepal's mayagi district
