Forgotten Village after the deadly earthquake in Nepal

Nabin Karki poses inside his bedroom as we can see the destroy wall behind him. No one came here since the earthquake happened, it's been now more than 9 days, but no sign from any rescue team, police or even army. In this small village of Lapoli Karki located at around 1 hour driving from the capital Kathmandu, about 99% of every houses are damaged, some had completely collapsed, killed animals of the farmers and forcing people to sleep outside their houses, some people build temporary houses with wood and corrugated sheet metal, some other made a tent in the middle of their field and sleep at 15 people inside, directly on the ground, they are still waiting help from anyone to fix, rebuild or only get some food and purify water, they can't reach any city easily because they haven't motorbike, so they keep working in their field to survive and hoped help from the government.
