Survivors now sitting under0:17open sky with nothing left. The Darhali0:19River, normally a modest watercourse0:21through this mountainous region, became0:23a wall of water after hours of0:25relentless rain. The surge struck with0:27little warning, catching families in0:29low-lying areas along the riverbank. In0:31several neighborhoods, residents had0:33only minutes to flee as the water rose.0:35The flooding is concentrated in Rajouri0:37district, a mountainous region in the0:38Jammu division near the line of control.0:41The area is no stranger to monsoon fury,0:43but local officials say the speed and0:45force of this flash flood caught even0:47experienced residents off guard.0:49Emergency crews are working to reach0:50affected areas where roads have been0:52damaged by the floodwaters. The0:53confirmed death toll stands at one0:55woman, though officials fear that number0:57could rise as rescue teams reach more0:59remote sections of the riverbank. Entire1:01families who lived in the slum1:03settlement have lost everything they1:04owned, their homes, their belongings,1:07and in at least one case a loved one.1:09These are the faces of the disaster.1:11Families who once had homes along the1:12Darhali River now huddle on whatever dry1:15ground they can find. The slum1:16settlement that was home to dozens of1:18families has simply vanished, swept away1:20by the current. Survivors describe1:22climbing to higher ground and watching1:24their homes disappear into the flood.1:26The Jammu and Kashmir government has1:28issued a flood advisory for the region,1:30warning that water levels in the Darhali1:32River remain dangerously high and1:34further rainfall is expected. Rescue1:36teams from the State Disaster Response1:38Force are on the ground, but access1:40remains a challenge in the mountainous1:41terrain. Relief camps are being set up,1:44though for tonight, many survivors will1:46sleep under the open sky with nothing1:48but the clothes they escaped in.קריאת הכתבהציר הזמן של הסיפורHeyDexהסרטון הקצר ↗
