Nepal flood survivors are leaving temporary camps as government delays rehabilitation
Summary
Flood survivors from Rasuwa, Nuwakot and Dhading are leaving temporary camps as poor living conditions and delays in rehabilitation decisions push them into rented rooms and other uncertain arrangements. Although the government has announced relief and rent support, affected families say they have not received any money yet.
Key Points
- Hundreds of flood survivors have left temporary camps in Rasuwa and Nuwakot because the shelters are uninhabitable and winter is approaching.
- The government has announced monthly rent support and one-time aid, but victims say no relief money has been distributed so far.
- Many displaced families are now renting rooms in Bidur and Kathmandu while worrying about food, rent and the future of their children.
- Local officials and the disaster authority say rehabilitation decisions are still pending as they verify the number of affected families.
