In the past week, evacuations due to landslide risks took place in Chitwan, Dhading, Kabhrepalanchok, Makawanpur and Sindhupalchok. The reports did not specify the level of Government support to the evacuation process. Reports also suggest that the process has been delayed because of residents’ unwillingness to move. Outside the 14 most affected districts, media reported that at least 19 people were killed and 32 missing following two
landslides in the western district of Kaski on 30 July. On a separate event, at least six people have been reported dead in landslides that struck various VDCs in Myagdi district. Floods triggered by incessant rainfall in Dolakha swept away a bridge over Charangekhola along the Lamosanghu-Jiri road on 25 July. Consequently, this obstructed traffic between Chautara, Sindhupalchok, and Charikot, Dolakha, as well as between Charikot and the capital. The Nepal Army, in coordination with WFP and logistic cluster, are responding to
repair the bridge. The District Public Health Office (DPHO) in Nuwakot reported that cases of malnutrition have risen following the earthquake. According to the DPHO, 89 children with chronic malnutrition were identified in a recent survey and pregnant and lactating women were also experiencing malnutrition.
