Two days after the devastating earthquake in Nepal, a story appeared in the local press about Bhaktapur, a historic city in the wider Kathmandu Valley. Ram and Maiya Baasi were outside their home, now reduced to rubble, searching for ways to get in and recover something, anything, of value. Their injured daughter was in the district hospital, and needed to be transferred to another. But all their money and resources lay buried in the ruins of their home. Others warned them not to get too close, as severe aftershocks continued. The mother insisted on going in, but could recover little. Meanwhile, next door, four corpses were found.
