On 25 April (11:56, UTC+5:45), a 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck Nepal that left over 7,000 people dead and destroyed nearly 191,000 houses. On 29 April, the Humanitarian Country Team launched a Flash Appeal to provide life-saving assistance and protection for millions of people affected by the earthquake. On 4 May, the appeal was revised seeking $423 million to support the relief operations for three months. To enable humanitarian partners to scale up the response, the Emergency Relief Coordinator (ERC) approved a $15 million grant from the Central Emergency Response Fund.
