Nepal: Life after the earthquake
It's six months today since a devastating earthquake hit Nepal, killing more than 8600 people and, in some parts of the country, flattening 98% of all the houses in the country's hillside villages.
ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 5 live's Nick Garnett was in the country immediately after the quake. He went back to Kathmandu to look at the impact and spoke to Jeffrey Shannon, Nepal Director of Mercy Corps NGO who said the countries progress is "much slower" than hoped.
It marked the start of a cycle of bad news for the country: the monsoon season hit people living in make shift tents and then a dispute on the Indian border has meant the country's been starved of fuel supplies which has seen petrol prices rise by 500%.
