Flood Displaces Squatters Kept At Government Holding Centers In Nepal

Overnight heavy rainfall caused the Bagmati River to swell, inundating the Radhaswami Squatter Holding Center at Sundarighat, where families relocated from informal settlements were taking shelter. Floodwaters entered the center, soaking and damaging household belongings, clothes, and other essential items. (Photo by Subaas Shrestha/NurPhoto)
