How a village in the Himalayas was entirely relocated

The fields of the hamlet of Samdzong in Nepal were washed away by the river. The inhabitants had to leave and build a new village from scratch in Namasung. As they start a new life in the new settlement, climate change is increasing the risk of floods and drought in the region, and they pray to be safe.
