The assessment team visited earthquake-affected areas in Sindhupalchok, Nuwakot, Dhading and Gorkha districts of Nepal. Majority of the affected remote villages, more popularly known as Village Development Committees (VDCs) in the upper reaches were still inaccessible for assessment. The team also met key district level officials and collected secondary information from other sources to gain an understanding on the critical unmet needs and current response plans. FINDINGS AND OBSERVATIONS The exact magnitude of damage is yet to be ascertained as most remote VDCs remain inaccessible due to damage to roads. People without food Supply of relief materials is not adequate to meet the emerging needs of the affected people. Several VDCs, particularly those which still continue to remain cut off, have not received any relief materials as reaching them is a challenge. Short supply of food appropriate for infants, may emerge as matter of major concern in the coming weeks. Loss of livelihoods The main occupation of the people belonging to the affected areas is agriculture. While there has not been any substantial crop loss, barring some instances where crops were destroyed following landslides induced by the earthquake, there is a concern over delayed rains resulting in less than average normal yield. WASH Water Supply Water supply does not appear to be a major issue presently. Mostly people were provided with water from traditional sources like springs. While the piped supply system in some places has been damaged or has been destroyed by the earthquake, people have repaired the supply pipelines themselves and have access to sufficient quantity of water. Alternate sources of supply are also available. While quantity of water is not appearing to be an issue, quality is questionable in some locations. Sanitation Traditionally people have been using toilets for defecation. Now with toilets being destroyed or becoming non-functional in some areas, people are resorting to open defecation. Toilets that are undamaged and functional are being shared by people. There is a need for latrines in these VDCs. Lack of toilets is posing a huge problem for women. There is a possibility of occurrence of water-borne diseases, as the water supply pipelines are broken in some areas. Hygiene Practices It was observed that very few households had separate covered drinking water containers with lids and taps. However, people in most VDCs do not have sufficient water storage containers. No significant cases of diarrhoea or dysentery have been reported. Shelter and NFIs The affected people are forced to move away from their homes/regular shelters as majority of the houses have been either partially or fully damaged. Large populations are without a roof or living under tarpaulin sheets. People were caught unaware by the earthquake and ended up losing most of their belongings under the rubble and debris. Many affected people still do not have necessary household items. Distribution of non-food items is yet to start in the most affected areas. Health Health facilities have collapsed in almost all the districts where the assessment was conducted. Resumption of services through rehabilitation of these facilities and providing outreach services is of utmost priority. There are agencies which have set up medical camps and they are doing their best to serve those in need. Support and gap areas The NGOs and government have started assessing the damage, supplying relief and providing other assistance in the form of dry food rations including rice, oil, sugar, maize etc. at a few places. Looking at the intensity of the devastation, it can be said that the supply of relief has been late and inadequate. There have been sporadic examples of preferential politics in play as far as distribution of relief items is concerned. However, these could not be substantiated. Relief action from Government The Government of Nepal carried out search and rescue of survivors during the initial days. The Government has now discontinued it as there is little hope of finding more survivors under the debris. Since schools are closed until the end of May, the buildings are used as relief centres for affected people in some places. The government has mobilized helicopters for distributing relief items and is supplying food, cash and other items (in variable quantities) at accessible VDCs. It is also in the process of declaring compensation for the dead, and for houses that have been damaged or destroyed by the earthquake. INFERENCES AND RECOMMENDATIONS Though the government has started responding, it has limited resources to respond quickly. It apparently needs external support to deal with the overwhelming disaster. The Government has been focusing on short term needs and have not come out with a longer or medium term response plan. As and when access to the remote VDCs is regained, it is recommended that a detailed shelter, WASH and food security assessment is conducted to identify critically unmet and emerging needs. In the current situation, recommendations for Christian Aid are: 1. It is beyond the capacity of the affected people to cope with the negative impact of the earthquake. The assessment team concludes an urgent need to respond to this humanitarian emergency, and thus validates CA’s ongoing response. 2. The need for immediate relief is crucial and must be undertaken at a greater speed and scale. Emergency Food Security, Shelter, WASH, and Emergency Livelihood support (in this order) should be the sectors of major focus. The situation in self-settled emergency shelters will worsen if food security is not ensured at the earliest. Immediate support must reach the worst affected people. A significant portion of the affected population still remains cut off in the remote areas with food being air-dropped for some. 3. A large-scale shelter rehabilitation and reconstruction intervention will be required once the emergency phase is over. For more details on the sector-specific recommendations,

    Nepal Earthquake District Profile - Gorkha OSOCC Assessment Cell 09.05.2015 This report is produced by the OSOCC Assessment Cell based on secondary data from multiple sources, including the Government of Nepal, UNDAC, United Nations Agencies, non-governmental organisation and media sources. I. Situation Overview Gorkha, with a population of more than 271,000, is one of the worst-affected districts.1 The epicenter of the earthquake was in Brapok, 15km from Gorkha town. As of 6 May, 412 people have been reported killed and 1,034 injured. In the southern part of the district, food has been provided, but field observations indicate that the food supplied might not be enough for the actual population in the area. Several VDCs in the mountainous areas of Gorkha are yet to be reached by humanitarian assistance. There are no roads in these northern areas, only footpaths. The level of destruction within the district and even within VDCs varies widely, as does the availability of food. A humanitarian hub has been set up at the Chief District Officer’s (CDO) premises in Gorkha town. Reported number of people in need (multiple sources) The figures featured in this map have been collected via multiple sources (district authorities, Red Cross, local NGO, media). Where multiple figures for the same location have been reported the highest one was taken. These figures are indicative and do not represent the overall number of people in need. 1 This is an updated version of the Gorkha District Profile that was published by ACAPS on 1 May 2015. As with other mountain areas of Nepal, Gorkha contains popular locations for foreign trekkers.
