Is the guardian?

From The Guardians Today in Focus, this is the latest with me, Lucy Hoff.
voice-verified
Rescue operations are now continuing into their third day after the devastating and catastrophic flooding in Nepal and Tibet, with the death toll now tragically surpassing 500.
voice-verified
Hannah Ellis Peterson, you are our South Asia correspondent.
voice-verified
You have been as as close as you can get to the affected region, the flood zone.
voice-verified
Where were you?
voice-verified
And what did you see there?
voice-verified
Yeah.
voice-verified
So the current death toll of five hundred feels like it could really rise tragically exponentially.
voice-verified
So Hannah, you yourself started the day in Bedur but were forced to evacuate because there have been further warnings about possible f further flooding.
voice-verified
What are we hearing from authorities about that?
voice-verified
Yeah, and stuck in uh uh unimaginable conditions without clean water, without power, without any ability to contact relatives who will be desperately trying to contact them.
voice-verified
Uh st the Nepalese government, it's been reported, is refusing help from international governments who've offered support.
voice-verified
W what do we know about that and and why might the Nepalese government do that?
voice-verified
Uh uh one of the sort of tr more difficult aspects of this is where this catastrophe took place, which is on the Tibetan-Nepalese border.
voice-verified
Tibet obviously being a country that many Tibetans consider to be autonomous, but is run with an iron fist by China and and part of it or part of it's being reported that part of this might have been a lack of communication from
voice-verified
from China to Nepal about this disaster coming and and also foreign journalists not being allowed into Tibet and so relying on reports coming out of Chinese state media that may not be entirely accurate.
voice-verified
Yeah, and and add to that, this is an example of a region that is being most affected by the climate emergency.
