Tsering Phuntsok Mourns Four Family Members as Tibet Flood Information Remains Scarce
Tsering Phuntsok Mourns Four Family Members as Tibet Flood Information Remains Scarce
Tsering Phuntsok has lost four members of his family in devastating floods in southwestern Tibet, including his 90-year-old grandfather. But as he mourns from exile, he says the lack of reliable information coming out of the disaster-hit region has made an already painful loss even harder to bear.
Speaking to Tibet Radio, Phuntsok said he has been deeply saddened and traumatised by the deaths of his relatives and frustrated by the difficulty of obtaining clear information about the situation on the ground.
The affected area is under Chinese control, and access to independent information from the region remains limited. For Tibetans living in exile, that has meant relying on fragmented reports and contacts on the ground to determine the fate of family members and friends.
Phuntsok was born in the area affected by the floods, making the disaster particularly personal. He also expressed concern that the information released by Chinese authorities may not reflect the full scale of the human loss.
