Responding to the humanitarian needs in Myanmar in 2015

Bhaktapur, a world-famous and ancient Nepali center of Hindu and Buddhist worship and culture, is one of many cities in Nepal left in ruins after the 25 April earthquake. The city that normally bustles with tourists, pilgrims and festive events was eerily silent for days, although the town is slowly coming back to life. Volunteers are showing up to help in the clean-up and aid is getting into the city to help people cope with and recover from the impacts of the devastating earthquake. (Credit: OCHA/Orla Fagan)

Just over a week after the earthquake in Nepal, 1.7 million children have been affected. The health and wellbeing of children affected by the disaster are hanging in the balance, according to UNICEF – as many have been left homeless, in deep shock and with no access to basic care. With the monsoon season only a few weeks away, children will be at heightened risk of diseases like cholera and diarrhoeal infections, as well as being more vulnerable to the threat of landslides and floods.

Just over a week after the earthquake, the World Food Programme (WFP) has distributed rice and high-energy biscuits to more than 196,000 people and has positioned supplies to feed about half a million people in the worst-affected areas. Food distributions are being combined with the delivery of much-needed medical supplies and tarpaulins for shelter as well as hospital equipment and other urgent relief items to reach remote districts, in collaboration with humanitarian partners.

Since 29 April, some 52,000 tarpaulins have been distributed in 29 districts and an additional 234,160 tarpaulins are en route to Nepal. (Credit: OCHA/Orla Fagan)

The World Health Organization (WHO) is coordinating the measles, mumps and rubella immunization campaign in the relief camps in collaboration with Ministry of Health and Population of Nepal and UNICEF. On 2 May, over 520 children were immunized for measles, mumps & rubella (MMR) in Lalitpur and Bhaktapur districts. Overall, as of 3 May, a total of 28,240 patients have been treated in different hospitals in and outside the Kathmandu valley and 3,355 have been admitted for hospital services. (Credit: WHO/M.
