Nepal's Aftershocks: In Pictures
A young boy pictured in Kathmandu's Tundikhel camp
Continuing aftershocks and landslides are indicative of the fact that the earthquake that struck Nepal in April this year was not a single disaster. The aftermath of the quake has raised serious human rights challenges in the country. The most affected and at risk are minority communities -- women, dalits, indigenous peoples or people with disabilities.
The quake has had a disastrous impact on this fragile society. This impact is clearly visible at camps in Kathmandu, where thousands have gathered to seek shelter -- thousands who had lost family members, their assets, everything that they know and hold dear. Scared, traumatised and grieving, thousands of people continue to remain uprooted, having received only a tent and some food in compensation.
