Nepalese Community of Saskatoon says situation is dire

“There is no water, no food, there is no toilet. Everything is broken, damaged. So life is so tough. There are no medical supplies, people are using their socks to cover their wounds,” Khanal said.

As the president of the Nepalese Community of Saskatoon, Khanal has been in constant contact with other members of their community, as well as family and friends back home.

“In our community there is one casualty that happened,” he said, adding one member’s mother-in-law was killed and another member’s son was seriously injured. “Other than that as far as we know almost all are safe now… [Members] are trying to contacting as many people as they can.”

Unable to be with his family, Khanal said he will do what he can from Saskatoon. On the Nepalese Community of Saskatoon’s website there is information about where and how to donate and Khanal said they are looking into a fundraiser.

“My employer, she said ‘go home and take rest’ but I couldn’t because of all the things going in my mind,” Khanal said.

“It feels so bad. If I would have stayed home, I would have so many anxieties that’s why I came to work today.”
