Nepal Floods: “God, You Know How Much We Miss Him”

For five days, Aziela Shaharuddin and her family have waited without news of her husband, Mohd. Sani Harul, who remains missing after floods in Nepal.

Mohd. Sani, a deputy director in the Planning and Research Division at the headquarters of Malaysia’s Fire and Rescue Department, was in Nepal with his team. In a post on Threads, Aziela said the family could do little but wait, hope and pray that he was safe.

“God, You know how much we miss him. You know how much we want to see his face again. We want to embrace him again,” she wrote. She said the family feared that words had gone unsaid and hoped they would still have the chance to share more moments with him.

“

God, You know how much we miss him. You know how much we want to see his face again. We want to embrace him again.

Aziela also prayed that search teams would be guided to his location and that anyone near him who could help would be moved to rescue him. She asked for protection from floodwaters, landslides, cold, injuries and other dangers beyond the family’s view.

Mohd. Sani is among 49 Malaysians identified as being handled by the travel agencies Leaf Holiday, Fishtail, Dream Tibet Travel and Tour, and Kailash Journeys who have not been located. Aziela ended her appeal by asking for his return to his family and for the chance to give thanks if he comes home.
