"The challenge we are facing is reaching out to the people in dire need of assistance. WFP is our reliable partner to extend the assistance to the most vulnerable people in Nepal. This is a very crucial time to boost the delivering capacity to those in need before the rainy season," said the Ambassador of Japan, Masashi Ogawa, at the handover ceremony. US$1.5 million of the contribution will go towards WFP’s emergency food assistance operation, and will assist more than 130,000 earthquake survivors in Sindhupalchok and the other hardest hit districts.
