In Nepal, the monsoon season has started since mid-June. It is the season when people become busy with rice planting, whereas people suffer from disasters. In this one month, nearly 100 people have been died due to monsoon related incidents such as landslides and floods.

At one of the FIDR project sites, Betali, Gokulganga Rural Municipality, Rammechhap district, people also suffered from heavy rain hit on 5 July 2020. Due to this rain, landslides and flood occurred and some houses were destroyed. Also, newly planted rice seedling was swept away. People who lost their houses evacuated to the school classroom which completed its construction last year under School Improvement Project.

The damage was bigger than usual years in the area and FIDR received the request of assistance from the local Government. Under the current situation where people needs careful attention to the spread of COVID-19, FIDR decided to conduct emergency relief to most affected people in the community so that they can shift to safe living condition.

From 10 July, FIDR distributed materials such as zinc sheet and plastic sheet for temporary shelter, and rice and soaps for handwashing and cloth washing to 67 households.
