Four months since the 25 April earthquake, affected communities continue to face multiple hazard risks and remain in need of aid. Heavy rains brought by the monsoon over the past month continued to trigger landslides and floods across the country. While in general the humanitarian situation has improved, hundreds of thousands of people still need shelter, food, access to water and sanitation, medical care, education and protection. During the monsoon season, there has been an increase in water borne disease cases. According to the Epidemiology and Disease Control Division, Ministry of Health and Population, 29 cases of cholera have been confirmed in the Kathmandu Valley. In collaboration with the Government, the WASH Cluster has provided some 2 million people with emergency water assistance and 435,400 people with sustained water through the provision of emergency repairs to damaged water systems.
