More than 500 children across Nepal's flood-hit districts are living in temporary shelters after their parents died or went missing in the August 26 floods, which killed over 1,400 people and left at least 5,000 missing. Under Nepali law, missing persons cannot be declared dead for 12 years without a court declaration, leaving the children in legal limbo.
