IOM Continues CGI Sheet Distribution in Landslide-Prone Community in Nepal
Abstract:
Jurey, which is only 10km away from Barhabise town, is an area where a massive landslide killed more than 156 people in August 2014. Nepal – IOM’s distribution of Corrugated Galvanized Iron (CGI) sheets in Barhabise Village Development Committee (VDC), Sindhupalchowk District, continues despite temporary road closures in Jurey due to a recent landslide caused by the monsoon rain. By the end of this week, 1,457 families living in nine wards of Barhabise VDC are expected to receive 20,398 CGI sheets worth over USD 200,000 funded by the Japanese government. IOM provides each family 14 CGI sheets to support reconstruction efforts and protect them from the monsoon. #IOM #YamantaNiroula #NarayanBhattarai #Jurey #Barabise #Sindhupalchowk #Landslide #CGISheets
