KATHMANDU, May 1: The Lutheran World Federation (LWF) Nepal, a humanitarian international NGO, has extended its support to 820 families camping outside their homes in Kathmandu, Lalitpur and Bhaktapur districts.
It has provided them tarpaulins, blankets, and ready-to-eat food. A statement issued by LWF Nepal said that it provided the support to the most-affected families in coordination with local government agencies.
LWF Nepal provides relief to 568 flood-affected families
According to the statement, LWF Nepal plans to assist 5,000 families worst-hit by the earthquake within a week.
The shortage of relief materials including food and other items has slowed distribution, but efforts are being made to import relief materials from India and China.
LWF Nepal has also sent a team to Gorkha and Dhading districts to assess the needs of earthquake-affected people in order to render the distribution process more effective.
