Red Cross mobilizes in Nepal after natural disaster
The Red Cross has mobilized in Nepal following a natural disaster. According to France 24, roads, bridges and means of communication in affected communities have been washed away, making access to them difficult.
Search and emergency assistance
Tommaso Della Longa, a representative of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, said that the difficulty lies not only in the scale of the destruction but also in the inaccessibility of the communities. Search-and-rescue operations and the delivery of life-saving aid remain priorities.

At the same time, the organization is already beginning preparations for long-term recovery. Local Red Cross volunteers are helping their communities, although some of them have lost their homes or relatives. According to Della Longa, this is also a personal crisis for the responders.
The headline of the France 24 article also states that the disaster washed away entire villages and communities.
