Albany Nepalese community holds vigil as Rasuwa flood casualties rise

A flash flood in Nepal's Rasuwa district killed more than 1,100 people last month, prompting hundreds of miles away in Albany, New York, the local Nepalese community to hold a candlelit vigil. Residents gathered at a Hindu temple to mourn victims and show solidarity with those affected in the Himalayan nation, where rescue efforts continue and casualty numbers rise daily. Community members expressed emotional distress over the disaster's impact on their homeland and called for donations to relief efforts.
