Displaced Squatter Settlement After Riverbank Evictions In Kathmandu, Nepal
A destroyed squatter settlement is seen in Kathmandu, Nepal, on June 26, 2026, nearly two months after authorities conduct an eviction operation along the riverbanks. The demolition is part of ongoing efforts under the Bagmati and Bishnumati river cleanup initiatives aimed at environmental restoration, flood control, and urban development. The operation results in the displacement of thousands of residents, many from marginalized communities, as settlements deemed illegal are cleared. Human rights organizations criticize the evictions, citing inadequate resettlement and housing provisions. According to the National Land Commission, an estimated 450,000 landless squatter families live across Nepal. (Photo by Safal Prakash Shrestha/NurPhoto)
