Speaking to NDTV, Manisha Koirala said the scale of the human suffering was difficult to comprehend. She also stressed that the tragedy should be looked at beyond borders, simply as a humanitarian crisis.

“My first thoughts are towards the people, the victims, the people who are suffering. Prayers for them. I think we all need to pray for them. And beyond borders, beyond this thing, on a human-to-human level, to see such a huge amount of human suffering, it’s a heartbreaking situation,” she said.

She said the visuals, news reports and stories emerging from the affected areas were unlike anything many people had witnessed before. She also urged people to step forward and help in whatever way they can.

“And it came all of a sudden, shockingly, like the way even the earthquake, I remember many years back, shattered. The visuals, the news, the stories, I’ve never seen. I don’t think many of us have seen this kind of flood or this kind of fury of nature. And we all need to pray, and we all need to step forward to support and help,” she said.
