Post-earthquake emergency intervention
On November 3, 2023, at 11:47 p.m., a magnitude 6.4 earthquake struck several communities in the Karnali district of western Nepal, causing an undetermined number of victims and injuries. The epicenter was identified in the locality of Jajarkot.
In this context, the following urgent needs were identified by Physicians for Peace, in coordination with its regional contact person for Asia and the partner organization CDF:
- Food
- distribution of mattresses, blankets and warm clothing (“Winter kits”);
- health support for problems generated by the seismic event and/or prior to it (e.g. families with children, the elderly, people with disabilities, people with chronic diseases, etc.).
We thank the Italian Buddhist Union for its valuable support. Support us too, every help can make a difference!
