In one of the villages of Nepal, which was hit by the strongest earthquakes in April and May 2015, locals live in improvised tents made of film and boards. To build new houses Nepals, whom the nature left without a roof, can not. Most of them bought their previous home with money earned from the sale of their own kidneys.



The town of Hoxe in Nepal is called the "village kidneys". Almost all of the inhabitants of the area were engaged in transactions with traffickers of human organs. A 37-year-old local woman named Gita told The Daily Mail that she sold her kidney to buy a family home. As a result, the building was destroyed by an earthquake.



A Nepalese woman travelled to India, where her organ was removed and paid 200 thousand Nepalese rupees (almost two thousand dollars) for it. Gita bought a plot of land in Hox, 12 miles from Nepal’s capital, and spent the rest of the money on building a stone house. After a severe earthquake of magnitude 7.9 the house turned into ruins. Now Gita with her four children lives in a barracks of brass, garbage bags and sheets of rifle iron.
