UEFA to Hold Moment of Silence for Nepal Flood Victims
· Sports · Indian Express, Sportstar
UEFA will observe a moment of silence and display a banner reading "You are not alone Nepal" before all Champions League matches this week. The tribute serves as a gesture of solidarity following devastating flash floods that struck northern and central Nepal last month. As of Monday, the official death toll has climbed to 1,355, with 4,996 people still reported missing. Rescue operations remain ongoing, with international teams from India and China assisting local forces in searching for survivors, particularly at hydropower project sites.
Why it matters
The gesture provides global visibility to the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Nepal, where thousands remain missing and rescue efforts are complicated by the scale of the disaster.
