Um Hong Gil to lead Foundation's relief mission in Nepal's underserved flood-hit areas
Summary
Um Hong Gil Human Foundation is expanding relief operations in Nepal’s flood-hit remote districts, with Chairman Um Hong Gil arriving to lead aid efforts in Rasuwa, Nuwakot, Dhading and Gorkha. The foundation has already delivered emergency medicine and supplies and will release additional funds as it shifts from rescue support to longer-term recovery.
Key Points
- Um Hong Gil Human Foundation is sending Chairman Um Hong Gil to Nepal on September 23 to lead relief work in underserved flood-hit areas.
- The foundation has already supported search-and-rescue efforts and delivered emergency medicine, medical supplies and patient tents to the Uttar Gaya Health Post.
- Relief efforts will focus on remote parts of Rasuwa, Nuwakot, Dhading and Gorkha, which have seen limited support because road damage has cut them off.
- The foundation also runs schools and education and healthcare programmes in remote areas of Nepal, and had originally planned a visit for school repair inspections in November.
