Nepal LGBTQ Community Holds Vigil for Flash Flood Victims Amid Rescue Efforts
Members of Nepal's LGBTQ community, led by the Blue Diamond Society, held a candlelight vigil in Kathmandu to honor victims of the recent flash floods and pray for those still missing. The vigil replaced the cancelled 24th Nepal Pride Parade and GaiJatra Celebration due to the disaster. The floods, triggered by a glacial collapse near the Nepal-Tibet border, have caused at least 734 deaths and left nearly 2,500 people unaccounted for, with rescue efforts ongoing across eight affected districts.
