Nepal debris flow disaster poses challenges to Prime Minister Shaha's response

More than 6,300 people have died or gone missing in the unprecedented debris flow disaster that hit Nepal and China, and Prime Minister Shah, who has only been in office for three months, has been criticized for only disseminating information mainly through social media, and for not directly visiting the disaster areas or communicating directly to the people. Political analysts praise the government's swift response compared to past governments, but point out that it will be required to speak directly to the people when necessary. Shaha's government reportedly initially refused to accept foreign rescue teams, and plans to attend the United Nations General Assembly to appeal for measures to combat climate change.
