Situation overview

Five months after the first of the two devastating earthquakes hit Nepal, the immediate humanitarian needs of the earthquake-affected people have largely been met with responders now transitioning to recovery and rehabilitation programming. On 30 September, the Nepal Flash Appeal ended with 57 percent funding. Field coordination hubs in Gorkha, Sindhupalchok and Dolakha districts transitioned to local level coordination structures.

With the coming winter season, at least 81,000 households in high altitude villages require additional humanitarian relief and shelter items. More than 58,000 people remain in 120 displacement sites in 13 districts – 85 per cent of shelter in these sites are not suitable for the winter. Some 530,000 people in 11 districts are still food insecure and require food and cash assistance.
