New Delhi: Amidst the horrors of natural disaster, sometimes such stories of miracles come to light, which awaken a ray of hope. Amidst the severe floods and devastation in Nepal, one such heart-wrenching and relieving case has come to light. 8 year old innocent Joyal Ghale, resident of Rasuwa district, has escaped from the horrific scene of flood and has reunited with his mother safely. When there was devastation all around, this innocent boy showed indomitable courage and turned towards the dense forests and saved his life by climbing trees.

Mother had considered her son dead

On Wednesday morning, Joyal and his brother went to study by school bus as usual. His 28-year-old mother Tamang was doing weaving work at home. Suddenly the area was shaken by the sound of thunder and thunder like an earthquake. When the upset mother ran towards the children’s school, located 15-20 minutes away, seeing the scene there, the ground slipped beneath her feet. The school building was completely destroyed and there was only a scene of devastation all around. Tamang had accepted that her innocent children had been taken away from her forever due to this tragedy.

Scary moments spent on the tree and airlift

When flood water and debris reached the school premises, 8 year old Joyal showed his wisdom and ran towards the forest and climbed a tall tree. By climbing the tree, he not only saved his life, but also remained there until help arrived. Later, the rescue team airlifted this innocent child alone from the inaccessible area of North Rasuwa district to the hospital. The child had a fracture in his leg and injury marks on his face, but he was breathing.

An emotional meeting took place on Friday

When mother Tamang, who was wandering from door to door in search of the missing children, got the news of Joyal being safe, tears of joy flowed from her eyes. On Friday, both of them had a phone conversation and finally the innocent child was reunited with his mother. Tamang’s family is among the lucky few who have recovered from this devastating tragedy.
