Today, our hearts are with Nepal. 🇳🇵
It is difficult to comprehend the scale of what has unfolded across parts of Nepal and the Himalayan border region in such a short space of time.
Lives have been lost.
Families are waiting desperately for news.
Hundreds of people remain unaccounted for.
Homes, villages and livelihoods have been swept away.
And behind every number we read is a human being.
A mother.
A father.
A child.
A partner.
A friend.
Someone deeply loved by somebody.
My heart is especially with those who are waiting tonight, not yet knowing whether the person they love is safe.
For those who have lost their lives, may they be held in peace.
For the families who are grieving, may they be surrounded by love and strength in the days ahead.
For the children whose lives may have changed forever, may loving arms find them and hold them close.
For those still missing, may the rescuers reach them.
And for every person on the ground searching, rescuing, caring, tending and helping — may they too be protected and strengthened.
There are moments when the suffering happening somewhere else in our world can feel so far away from us.
But another person's grief is never really separate from our humanity.
So today, perhaps we can stop for just a moment.
Wherever you are in the world, place your hand upon your heart and send a prayer, a thought, a blessing, or simply your love toward every person affected by this tragedy.
May Nepal and all those affected be held in an extraordinary field of love today.
FOR YOU, FOR ME, AND HUMANITY,
WE STAND.

*One of the 34 missing Australians was on a trekking tour with a Kathmandu-based operator when the catastrophic flooding hit, according to information provided by the Nepalese tourism board.
The Australian is among hundreds of tourists unaccounted for after an avalanche of ice and rock triggered massive flash floods through Nepal and Tibet on Wednesday (local time), killing at least 157 people in Nepal and three across the Chinese border.
