Situation Overview
According to the Government of Nepal, close to 9,000 fatalities resulted from the 25 April and 12 May 2015 earthquakes that destroyed 602,592 and damaged 284,482 houses.
In the almost five months since the 25 April earthquake, the overall humanitarian situation in Nepal has improved. However, a number of earthquake-affected people continue to require humanitarian assistance.
During the monsoon season, an increase in water borne disease cases has been reported.
Seasonal June-to-September monsoon rains have triggered landslides and floods, which have exacerbated living conditions for people who lost their homes in the earthquake and hampered road and trail access, disrupting humanitarian aid delivery to some areas.
Border crossing points from India are facing a very critical security situation as an indefinite strike is currently in effect in the south of the country and affecting the transportation of relief items from India to Nepal
