Nepal Earthquake Response
On April 25 a 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck Nepal, with epicentre in Lamjung District, located 81km northwest of Kathmandu with adepth of 15 km. On May 12, a second 7.3 magnitude earthquake struck near Chilankha village in Dolakha District. According to the GON, 31 out of Nepal's 75 districts have been affected by the May 12 (second) earthquake. Sindhupalchok district, the worst-affected by the initial earthquake, is now further affected, as is Dolakha. Oxfam in implementing a humanitarian response across 7 districts,within districts the local administration is coordinating the response; the government is assigning geographic areas of focus to the incoming INGO community. The current confirmed target populations is 327,625. The programme target remains 400,000, this is based on the assumption that additional VDCs will be allocated to Oxfam in Dhading and Nuwakot. Giro 555 (SHO) started a public appeal shortly after the first earthquake. Oxfam Novib will receive approximately Euro 3 million which will be a contribution to Oxfam's overall earthquake response in Nepal. The response will focus on three thematic areas: Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WaSH); Emergency Food Security and Livelihoods; and Emergency Shelter. Gender and protection will be cross cutting.
