The Nepal floods
Flash floods struck the Nepal-Tibet border on August 26, destroying villages and killing more than 1,300 people, with thousands still missing. Twelve hydropower plants in the Trishuli River basin were damaged, knocking out more than 10 percent of Nepal's generation capacity. More than a week on, two people were rescued alive from a tunnel and Nepal's army is searching for dozens more trapped there, hampered by mud and rocks. The newest reporting looks at what it will take to rebuild the ruined towns in safer places.
