The devastating floods that swept through northern and central Nepal on August 26 have left behind a trail of death and destruction, with over 1,200 people confirmed dead and nearly 5,000 missing.
The scale of the disaster is staggering, but what's perhaps more disturbing is the government's response to the crisis.
