The back-to-back earthquakes of 25 April and 12 May and their many aftershocks had devastating effects on lives and livelihoods of thousands of people, many of whom remain in urgent need of vital humanitarian assistance. The disaster further exacerbated pre-existing vulnerabilities and pushed many families deeper into poverty. Although the humanitarian situation has improved over the past three months, providing those affected with shelter, food and livelihoods support, water and sanitation, medical care, and protection has been and remains paramount. The cold and damp monsoon weather is making the survivors even more vulnerable and, as many of them remain in far flung, mountainous areas, increased logistics support, including airlift capacity, is vital for the responders to continue to reach them.
