KATHMANDU, Nov 5: The Embassy of the United States of America in Kathmandu has said it is deeply concerned by the increasingly volatile situation along the Nepal-India border, resulting in critical shortages of fuel, medicine, and foodstuffs, including in the areas still reeling under the effects of the devastating earthquakes of April and May.

"With winter only weeks away, the intentional donor community is unable to deliver vital relief and shelter supplies to many vulnerable communities," the embassy said in a statement issued on Thursday. "Lives are at stake, and we are concerned that a humanitarian crisis may result."It further said that the United States calls on all those involved to redouble their efforts to resolve this crisis and that everyone should contribute to creating positive environment for meaningful political dialogue to ensure that the constitution accommodates the aspirations of all Nepalis.

The US says it is always ready to assist the people and the government of Nepal as they continue along their democratic path in rebuilding after the April earthquake.
