Reconstruction Underway in Nepal

Reconstruction is taking place in Nepal after half a million houses and other buildings were destroyed by the earthquake last April 25. The government is now focusing on rebuilding schools and hospitals. Homes for individuals take a back seat, and many are building temporary shelters on their own. The situation is especially difficult for farming communities. Elsewhere, people continue to live in buildings that are likely to collapse because they have received no compensation for building a temporary shelter. The government has promised to build temporary shelters for the three million displaced people by the middle of June, but the task is not easy. The rebuilding phase is expected to take at least five to ten years. Sewa Bhattarai reports from Kathmandu for teleSUR.
