Much needed humanitarian supplies are yet to reach many people still living in temporary shelter.
The National Authority for Reconstruction - the key institution to accelerate reconstruction and help Nepal build back better - is still to be established. Winter is approaching and we need to act fast to avoid a second humanitarian crisis."
