Homes lost, hungry babies: In crowded shelters, Nepal's mothers struggle to nurture life
KATHMANDU: The Nepal floods took away Sharmila Shrestha's home and separated her from her baby for days.
Now, reunited at a crowded shelter, she can do little more than helplessly watch her toddler eating the same food as the adults because there is nothing else.
Her 14-month-old daughter sleeps with her on the floor of a classroom in northwest Kathmandu, alongside her sister-in-law's 18-month-old son.
