Survivors of the devastating floods in Nepal are returning to Dhunge Bazaar to search the ruins of their homes for anything they can salvage. Some say there is nothing left to return to, while rescue teams work through dangerous debris and families search for missing loved ones.

DW correspondent Adil Bhat reports on a community that has lost homes and livelihoods and now faces the question of whether it can ever rebuild beside the river.
