Rescue efforts continue as 43 Australians remain missing in Nepal – video
Guardian Australia's Cait Kelly is reporting from Nuwakot in Nepal, where she describes a scene of profound destruction.
The district is near the Tibet border and is a critical site in the search for the 43 missing Australians, many of whom were likely on a pilgrimage when the flash floods hit on 26 August.
Deep mud and rubble blanket the landscape, and volunteers warn that survivors may still be trapped beneath the wreckage
