Resumen
Descripción
Following the widespread devastation caused by the 25 April earthquake, the food security situation in Nepal is very dire for large number of people. The devastation caused by the earthquake seriously jeopardized prospects for the forthcoming 2015 summer crops to be planted from late May. Most markets have been severely disrupted, hampering access to food. As of 4 May 2015, at least 7 365 people were confirmed dead, some 14 355 injured, still hundreds missing, and millions of people vulnera ble and are in urgent need of assistance. Accordingly, WFP issued an urgent appeal for USD 116.5 million to provide food for 1.4 million people over the next three months. FAO has appealed for USD 8 million to support its immediate interventions response while long term needs are being assessed.
