The response launched by the government of Nepal in the immediate aftermath of the disasters has seen significant support from the international and humanitarian communities, and private sector alike. Scores of volunteers remained on the forefront of the response ever since as well, reads the statement.
"Achieving as much as we have to date would have been impossible without the leadership of the government and the commitment of the peole and communities of Nepal themselves," said Jamie McGoldrick, Humanitarian Coordinator in Nepal.
To date, more than 340,000 families who lost their homes were provided with emergency shelter and another 170,000 households received materials to improve their damaged dwellings. Food assistance was delivered to over 2 million people and some 2 million people continue to benefit from sustained water and sanitation support.
"Providing assistance to the survivors is our collective responsibility," said McGoldrick.
As of now, the international community provided some US$ 225 million in support of $422 million humanitarian appeal. An additional $227 million was received in the form of bilateral and in-kind support.
Meanwhile, United Nations Population Fund also paid tributes to all those who helped others in the districts affected by the earthquake in Nepal, against all odds and adversity on the occasion of the World Humanitarian Day.
