Weekly highlight:
1) Landslides triggered by rainfall in Taplejung have displaced 160 households in multiple VDCs. Food shortages have been reported. Relief efforts have been further hampered by ongoing rain and flash floods.
2) Monsoon season began in eastern Nepal on 13 June. Rains will move westwards covering the rest of the country over the next few days.
3) The monsoon season increases the risks of landslides in earthquake affected areas. Landslide dams can fail rapidly after formation, causing flash-floods. Hence, there is a need to monitor landslide events and have mitigation measures in place.
4) There are increasing reports of concerns over child and women trafficking as hundreds of children are still unaccounted for. (CCWB)
5) Kathmandu, Lalitpur and Bhaktapur were classified as 'crisis zones' for a year to accelerate demolition of buildings.
6) Based on damage and loss, final report of the Post Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA) estimates that costs for recovery and reconstruction will amount to USD 6.66 billion, some 1/3 of GDP.
