At least 1000 people living in a Kathmandu slum have become homeless and now are living in the park near the slum area. The demolition follows the government's decision to begin evicting nearly 10,000 people who've created squatter camps along the Bagmati river in the Nepali capital.
“I cried my heart out when I saw bulldozers demolishing our home,”34-year-old Manju Adhikari, a mother of daughters aged 15 and 17, told AFP.
“When my younger girl came back from school, she asked me where were we going to live. I didn’t have the answer. We have nowhere to go.”
