Official number of deaths has crossed 10,000 and more than 35,000 people got injured & around 530,000 houses were damaged across 39 of Nepal's 75 districts. Now they are living in temporary accommodation as in relief camps, tents of plastic sheets & most of them under the open sky but memories of their family members (who are no more) drag them towards their dream homes that have turned into pile of mud & rocks. Now after basic necessities as potable water, food, temporary shelter, and medicine the biggest challenge is to build their dream homes again.
