      A month after Nepal was shattered by two earthquakes, photographer Zishaan Akbar Latif is still coming to terms with the scale of the disaster. He shares his experience through images that make the tragedy palpable and the devastation and the loss deeply personal.

      I reached Kathmandu on April 28, 1530 local time. We hovered over Nepal’s ravaged capital for almost 2 hours before we could land. A light drizzle greeted us. The rain was the latest in a litany of misfortune. The Tribhuvan International airport looked liked a war zone from the window with Indian, US and French planes parked on the tarmac. Rescue and aid teams from around the globe had descended on Kathmandu airport, they had got in relief material – medicine cartons, tarpaulins, food and drinking water supplies – to combat nature’s wrath on a war footing. Outside, it could have been a regular day, there was no sign of tension or overt distress except that every way I turned, I saw shock and sensed fear in people whose world had just collapsed around them.

      Kathmandu’s iconic Shiva temple, the Pashupatinath temple, where many Hindus come to live out their last days, is used to death, but nothing would have prepared it for the mass cremations that followed the earthquake.
