(Kathmandu/Bangkok, 2 June 2015) An estimated 2.8 million Nepalese affected by the back-to-back earthquakes remain in need of humanitarian assistance, more than five weeks after the initial earthquake. The numbers include 864,000 people living in remote, mountainous areas who require urgent assistance,as they lost their homes and livelihoods. However, funding for the relief interventions remains insufficient. “Our top priority is to provide vulnerable people of Nepal with the basics, to ensure their survival through the monsoon”, said Jamie McGoldrick, Humanitarian Coordinator in Nepal. “If we cannot achieve this, the progress that was made to reduce vulnerabilities before the quakes will be lost forever and we will have to face an even starker reality”.
