    The system is failing our children (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    A forwarded message on a WhatsApp group recounted how guards recovered a child at a city hospital who was being secretly taken away from his mother. The child’s scream alerted the guards to challenge the woman who was trying to steal him. We heaved a collective sigh of relief that he did not add to the tally of 15,717 children who were reported missing across the country between January and July this year (2,038 of them still untraced). The number found a human face when the images of a 13-year-

    In the past, people would view a glacier chunk falling into a lake and causing a river to overflow as a cosmic event or divine act. Now that we have placed an eye in the sky, the satellite images can help us understand how the unprecedented flash flood in the Nepal-Tibet border area happened.
