Relentless wait for missing brother’s return

Seventeen-year-old Pushpa Joshi awaits the return of her brother Bipin, who went missing after a Hamas attack in Israel last year.

As Bhaitika, the final day of Tihar, arrives, sisters across Nepal prepare garlands for their brothers. But for 17-year-old Pushpa Joshi of ward 3 in Bhimdatta Municipality, Tihar has lost its joy.
