OUR RESPONSE
LANDSLIDE
According to a report
by the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization published in 2011,
Nepal has one of the highest fatalities from landslides in the world. Since
2017, an additional 490 people have been killed by landslides, according to
recent government data. In the 2020 year alone, 243 have died and 51 are
missing. This is the second-highest of confirmed casualties on record in the
past 10 years, and nearly three times higher than 2019.
Shanti Foundation has
been providing emergency medical and material assistance to the
landslide-affected areas and need-based support upon the request of local
government and front-line workers.
