Nepal Earthquake 2015 Rapid Assessment Report Summary of Findings, 1 May 2015 - Release 1
Abstract:
Food needs- Loss of food stocks and closure of markets determine the urgency of food needs: Food needs are extremely urgent due to widespread loss of food stocks. Income and livelihood opportunities are limited. Households have been able to better recover food stocks from damaged housing and market activity is likely to resume. Less widespread damage, better recovery of food stocks, and market activity is starting. Shelter damage: In rural areas almost all houses are constructed of stone and mud. Brick is used in Kathmandu valley: More than 80 percent of houses were destroyed. Stone and mud houses are completely damaged in the mountain areas. 50 to 80 percent houses are damaged or destroyed, mostly affecting stone and mud houses. Less than 50 percent houses are damaged.
