Description
rec'd by Ashish Hada. Posted to Facebook group, Nepal Earthquake Response )12:00, EDT"I am Raksha, a doctor working at Namche clinic.
As you know that after the earthquakes in Nepal, people have lost lives, shelters and properties and have ever since been living in fear.
Remote villages in Nepal are facing huge challenges and are in dire need of aid. Among such villages are Thame, Khunde, Khumjung and many more that are north of Solukhumbu. These villages are yet to see any relief aids from the government and many have lost hope that there will be any. We are glad to see the local community get united and help each other in such time.
The earthquake has left most of the houses inhabitable and villagers have taken shelter in makeshift tents. This had led to people catching flu, respiratory infection, diarrhea diseases at a very fast pace. We fear that unhygienic and crowded living conditions with extreme weather will soon invite even more diseases.
Due to the extreme weather condition that people have to face everyday, everyone is looking forward to rebuild their homes as soon as possible which is very difficult considering the scarcity of home builders and carpenters right now. We presume it will take months to years before there will be any semblance to normalcy here.
People did call me they would help bring aid here but they never called back nor did they bring any help.
