@UNOPS They r visiting the flood-affected areas not to provide relief or assistance, but with the aim of earning commissions from the situation. We know that the UN is one of the most corrupt org. When I was in Europe, I saw goods; intended solely for UN use r being sold in shops.

@UNOPS "Will take time" is an understatement given two million tonnes of debris. What concrete benchmarks or milestones have been set so the public can track real progress?

A surveillance camera has captured the moment a mudslide engulfs a border crossing between China and Nepal, showing people attempting to flee moments before. It is feared there will be a high number of casualties and mass destruction in the area. Hundreds of travellers have been reported missing after torrential rains and flash flooding in Nepal and at least 95 people have been confirmed killed. The exact cause of the mudslide has not yet been determined though initial reports suggest an earthquake could have triggered it. And a warning, this footage is distressing. #News #Channel4News #China #Nepal #Mudslide
