KATHMANDU: Mules or other pack animals heading to the villages of the Himalayas carrying food assistance from United Nations World Food Programme (WFP), Nepali Army personnel assembling tents for incoming urgent supplies for Nepal, earthquake survivors, student returning from school, and locals working on trial rehabilitation — all these images give a glimpse of the earthquake of April 25, 2015, its aftermath, and the aid Nepal got from the international organisations.

Captured by the staff of WFP — both the local and international — as well as by hired photographers, the 48 photos reflect the help in relief and recovery operations during the quake. Titled ‘Moving Mountains’ — a photography exhibition that started at Siddhartha Art Gallery, Baber Mahal on April 1, it is a year’s retrospective on WFP’s work and assistance it provided to Nepal after the natural disaster.

When the earthquake struck Nepal, WFP was among various other organisations that provided emergency food assistance to the affected people.

The photographs also showcase damages caused by the earthquake — landslides and destruction of houses. And they have been captured in long-range and close-up shots. Among them is a wide angle photo by Tina Stacey. In a glance it looks like a wall of zinc sheets but upon a closer examination, locals are seen walking on a trail carrying bags and zinc sheets on their back.

“These photographs were not taken with an aim to exhibit. But as a year has almost passed by after the earthquake, we are trying to show what WFP has done within the year, through these photographs,” shared Manoj Karki of WFP Communication Unit adding, “It is also a reflection of the disaster that occurred a year before.” A video being screened at the exhibition also puts light on the organisation’s work in the country.

The exhibition is on till April 8.
