HUMANITARIAN NEEDS
Three key Early Recovery priorities have been identified under the leadership of the Ministry of Federal Affairs & Local Development (MoFALD) and Ministry of Urban Development (MoUD).
Debris management and safe demolition
Government reports 458,272 houses destroyed and 177,389 damaged which means an estimate of 40 million cubic meters of debris need to be managed.
Community infrastructure & livelihood recovery
Initial assessments indicate that affected communities lost significant livelihood assets such as small irrigation structures, existing renewable energy sources, community feeder roads and trails, seed stores, market centres and cooperative offices. 69% of the population in the 14 priority districts report loss of livelihood.
Restoration of critical local services
In 629 Village Development Committees (VDC) and 41 municipalities in the 14 most affected districts, 244 government buildings have initially been reported as totally damaged.3 Many households are estimated to have lost essential documentation, and without offices to replace these, their access to services and emergency relief is severely limited.
