Nepali officials will seek billions of dollars from wealthier countries and global agencies for financial help, arguing they should contribute to the $5 billion needed for initial rebuilding as the disaster shows how climate change has hit poor countries that did little to cause it. The country is still reeling from the collapse of a Himalayan glacier in late August that's killed more than 1300 people, with thousands more still missing. Senior news editor at Nepal Television Shivanee Thapa Basnyat tells Asia News Week's Yvonne Yong that people are questioning how prepared the state was for a disaster of this scale, and whether international expertise could have been brought in faster.
