Two months after the first of the two devastating earthquakes hit Nepal, some 2.8 million of the people affected continue to require vital humanitarian assistance. Temporary shelter, food and livelihoods support, basic medical care, sanitation and hygiene, and protection remain the key needs as survivors now also face the added challenges posed by damp and cold weather. “Ensuring the survival of hundreds of thousands of people, who lost their homes and livelihoods in the back-to-back disasters, through the monsoon must remain our top collective priority”, said Jamie McGoldrick, Humanitarian Coordinator in Nepal. “Timely, principled and equitable relief and recovery are the key prerequisite for any reconstruction effort to be successful. The humanitarian community will continue to support the Government in its effort to address the unmet humanitarian needs”.
