Nepal Situation Report #12 (12 June 2015)
Abstract:
In addition to the 1.9 million people assisted during Phase I of its operation, WFP has reached nearly 216,000 people so far in Phase II. In collaboration with the World Health Organisation (WHO), WFP is capitalising on its expertise in humanitarian logistics and engineering to restore Nepal’s primary health care services. To that end, WFP is constructing temporary clinics, one of which has been completed in Dhading district. Four more in other districts will be constructed during the coming week. With the key development partners, WFP continues to actively be involved as a core team member and key resource in the Post Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA), which will set the stage for recovery and reconstruction efforts. WFP has signed a letter of intent with the Government of Nepal outlining its operational plan in the earthquake-affected districts. The plan is aligned with the Government’s response strategy. Funding is urgently required for WFP to sustain the necessary levels of emergency and recovery response. With close to 70 percent of the households in the mountain areas facing poor or borderline food consumption, this situation must be addressed immediately to prevent further human suffering. WFP has received generous contributions from a number of donors, including Australia, Canada, Denmark, European Commission, Germany, Japan, Liechtenstein, the Netherlands, Norway, United Kingdom, United States, UN CERF and the private sector.
