01 MARCH 2017 - KHOKANA, NEPAL: A man sets aside wood scavenged for firewood at the site of a building that was destroyed in the Nepal earthquake of 2015. Wood that can be reused for construction is set aside, but most rural Nepalis cook and heat their homes with firewood, and wood that can't be used in construction is used for firewood. Recovery seems to have barely begun nearly two years after the earthquake of 25 April 2015 that devastated Nepal. In some villages in the Kathmandu valley workers are working by hand to remove ruble and dig out destroyed buildings. About 9,000 people were killed and another 22,000 injured by the earthquake. The epicenter of the earthquake was east of the Gorka district.     PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
