Nepal, Dalai Lama: ‘I am praying for the victims of the floods and for all those affected by this tragedy’

Milan, 27 August (LaPresse) – “I am deeply saddened by the devastating floods that have struck the Rasuwa region in Nepal and Kyirong in Tibet, causing loss of life and severe structural damage. I pray for all the victims and offer my deepest condolences to their families and to all those affected by this tragedy.” So said the Dalai Lama in a statement. “Given that this region has already been hit by disasters in the past, these events are certainly a symptom of a deeper underlying cause, be it climate change or other factors. I hope that, where possible, appropriate measures will be taken to ensure that such disasters do not recur,” added the Dalai Lama.
