Relief efforts intensify, UNICEF estimates 940,000 Children in urgent need of aid
 

The powerful earthquake that struck northwest of Kathmandu on Saturday 25 April has left thousands dead.
Nearly 1 million children are in urgent need of humanitarian assistance, with efforts to aid survivors intensifying.

The earthquake has caused enormous suffering and devastation and UNICEF is working tirelessly to do whatever it takes to ensure the health and safety of Nepal's children.

• At least 940,000 children require immediate aid, and there are reports of dwindling water and food supplies.

• More than 3,000 people have been killed, and the number of reported casualties continues to increase

• Survivors have been rocked by more than 60 aftershocks felt as far away as India and Bangladesh.

• The risk of waterborne disease is increasing because of limited access to safe water and sanitation.

• The earthquake unleashed a huge avalanche that killed climbers in the Mount Everest region.

• 30 out of 75 districts have been affected by the earthquake, including rural areas and two densely populated cities—Kathmandu and Pokhara.

• There has been massive destruction. Buildings have collapsed, cellphone networks are down in many areas, and power is out. Hospitals are overcrowded and running out of medical supplies.

• UNICEF is receiving requests for essential drugs, medical and surgical equipment and emergency tents.

• The majority of the population is staying outside, despite the cold, due to fear of aftershocks and structural damage to buildings.

• UNICEF is mobilising staff and emergency supplies to meet children’s immediate needs, focusing on water and sanitation, protection, health and nutrition.

• UNICEF cargo flights bearing 120 metric tonnes of humanitarian supplies are being readied for urgent airlift, as prepositioned in-country supplies are distributed.
   

UNICEF is mobilising staff and emergency supplies to meet the urgent humanitarian needs of children affected by the earthquake, focusing on water and sanitation, nutrition, education and child protection. UNICEF is already supporting tankering of water and provision of oral rehydration salts and zinc supplements to people gathered in informal settlements, and providing tents for field medical facilities, using supplies already prepositioned in the country. UNICEF has two offices in Kathmandu and has been working in Nepal since 1964 to save and improve the lives of the country’s most vulnerable children.
