These photos show a little of the nightmare people are facing here.The first is the home of a man who just before the earthquake came had welcomed me to a meeting at a health post in Nambudha.
The second is just across the road from where Bijen's home is - six people died in this building.
...
I was in a village yesterday where every home had been destroyed. We assembled tents (Sheets of plastic stretched over bamboo canes cut from the woodlands because there are no proper tents to be had in the part of Kathmandu where we are) gave food and water and medical help to those with injuries.
Today people were fighting over bottles of water we had taken to a village on the outskirts of Kathmandu.
Where Subash works most homes have been destroyed and food and water and tents are a huge problem. It is here that we intend using a lot of the funds you sent today. he has been digging people out of the rubble.
