The Government of Nepal is planning for the temporary relocation of displaced people who are currently residing in zones at risk of landslides. As CCCM Cluster lead, IOM has been heavily involved in ensuring that proper precautions are in place so that all movements happen in a safe and dignified manner.
On July 1st, torrential rains flooded Chuchepati displacement site, one of the largest in Kathmandu, housing over 8,000 people. IOM quickly mobilized machinery and manpower to improve the drainage systems on site.
Between 1 and 7 July , 5,924 families received corrugated galvanized ironsheets (CGIs) in Dolakha and Ghorka Districts through IOM’s network of partners , allowing for better protection against the monsoon rains and beyond.
