On the 25th April, a 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck the Central and Western Regions of Nepal, with the epicenter in Lamjung District (north-west) of Kathmandu. As of the 7th May, 280,000 homes have been destroyed and 230,000 homes have been damaged (NEOC statistics). In line with the existing Cluster system adopted here in Nepal, NGOs, international organizations and UN agencies operating in the shelter sector work together under the leadership of the Shelter Cluster (led by the Department of Urban Development and Building Construction and Co-Led by NRCS/IFRC) to identify gaps, plan and prioritise the response, and to implement and monitor activities in a cohesive manner. The overall purpose is to alleviate human suffering and protect the lives, livelihoods and dignity of populations in need.
