Story

On Saturday the 25th Nepal experienced a severe earthquake measuring a magnitude of 7.8. The biggest earthquake experienced by the developing nation in 80 years. The earthquake has caused widespread damage and destruction across Nepal. The country is still experiencing aftershocks and the death toll, currently in the thousands, is steadily rising. Thousands of people are injured and in need of medical attention but Nepal a country unprepared for a disaster of this magnitude is struggling to respond.

As we have seen in past disasters the aftermath provides many challenges as basic supplies become scarce, hospitals are inundated and disease spreads.

What is needed in the initial aftermath?
Thousands of people have been left without homes as a result and are in need of temporary accommodation in the form of tents especially as storms are hitting affected areas.

Basic supplies such as water, food and medical necessities are crucial to survival as well as ensuring hygiene and sanitation to limit the spread of disease.

Nepal is going to need a lot of long term support in its recovery from this tragic event.
