Flood-displaced families in Kailali living by the roadside

Almost a week into the disaster, more than 200 families from Bhajani have pitched tents along the Postal Highway awaiting relief and safe return to their homes.

On Saturday morning, Nirmala Shahi was cooking a meal for her family of four on a stove she had salvaged from her flooded house in Krishnanagar in Bhajani Municipality, Kailali. The family has pitched a tent on the side of the Postal Highway after escaping from their flooded settlement four days ago.
