Nepal Floods Leave Trail of Destruction in Photographer's Lens

When floodwaters recede, they leave behind not only wreckage but the harder question of what it means to rebuild a life from what remains. In September 2026, Reuters photographers moved through the affected regions of Nepal after severe flooding swept across the country, documenting the fractured infrastructure, displaced families, and the slow, unglamorous work of recovery. Their images served as both urgent dispatch and enduring archive — a reminder that behind every disaster statistic is a particular street, a particular family, a particular loss that deserves to be seen.
