10 August 2015 -Helicopter services vital to humanitarian relief efforts in quake-struck Nepal may be terminated earlier than planned unless more funding is secured to continue operations.
Any potential interruption to UNHAS service will leave at least 146,000 people in remote communities devastated by the 25 April and 12 May earthquakes without the support they require to survive through the monsoon and beyond, including emergency shelter and food and livelihoods support. The monsoon rains and the many landslides further limit or even cut off completely access to communities, making the airlift service more critical by the day.
