Two organizations—Global Shelter Cluster and the REACH Initiative—surveyed about 1,680 households in the 14 districts that were worst affected by the earthquake, about their living conditions after the earthquake.
The preliminary results are staggering. Around 68 percent of displaced households are living in areas adjacent to their damaged homes, where access to sanitation, education, healthcare and clean drinking water is severely curtailed.

Here are few results from the survey. The United Nations estimates that 2.8 million people were displaced after the earthquake and its aftershocks flattened their homes. According to the survey, many people in districts such as Okhaldhunga and Sindhuli are still living in close proximity to their destroyed houses.
While 86 percent of the surveyed households were displaced because of damaged houses, 72 percent said they had to leave their homes because of the aftershocks.
