Three months after the first of the two devastating earthquakes hit Nepal, hundreds of thousands of people affected still require vital humanitarian assistance. With nearly 600,000 houses destroyed and another 280,000 damaged by the quake. With the monsoon approached after the earthquake, all the 14 most affected districts are at increased risk of floods, landslides, avalanches, and public health emergencies. Large portions of the earthquake-affected population are still living in very basic emergency shelters with limited access to safe water supply and hygiene and sanitation facilities. To date, 339,233 tarpaulins have been distributed in 14 districts, with an additional 141,048 tarps in the pipeline. The shortage of CGI sheets ahead of the monsoon is a major challenge. Of the 125,000 households targeted for self-recovery, about 81,600 household have been reached.
