domestic animals have dead. Mostly crops and fertile lands have been crumbled away
by floods and landslide, similarly 9 houses were completely disappeared and more than
80 families' fully displaced.
The immediate response by the District disaster relief committee Rasuwa became able to

instant noodles, biscuits, and non-food relief items such as blankets, clothing materials,
mats, water jars, plastics, medicine and kitchen sets to the affected people of Rasuwa.

Rescuing the people/children

6. These less fortunate are looking for food and opportunities for their golden future, how unlucky they
are………..now they are watching landslide and flood
Challenges
The affected area is geographically scattered and remote therefore difficult to access.
This caused delays in delivery and distribution of the materials. During the first few days,
assessments, rescue and relief operations were hampered in the affected areas due to the
partial or complete breakdown in communication systems and transportation networks
and the area was inaccessible due to the continuing heavy rainfall; however, the situation
has improved as floodwater levels receded in most of the affected areas.
