UNICEF and partners are intending to reach approximately 1.7 million children who represent 40 percent of the 4.2 million affected population in 21 of the most affected districts of Nepal. (Source:NEOC/MOHA). UNICEF Nepal Country Office started responding immediately after the disaster by using its pre-positioned emergency relief supplies. This includes the provision of tents for hospital use, distribution of hygiene kits, and support to water trucking services to 16 informal camps for displaced population in the Kathmandu Valley. UNICEF Nepal Country Office is operational and staff on the ground have been supporting the initial response by the Government and civil society actors. UNICEF has designated this crisis as an internal Level 2, which allows the Organization to mobilize support and funding at the onset of a crisis.
