Jajarkot earthquake survivors are battling monsoon in temporary shelters

Many displaced have fallen ill in affected districts of Jajarkot, Rukum West and Salyan.

Nandaram Mahar’s family of seven haven’t had a good night’s sleep for the past month or so. The family is currently living at a temporary shelter in Nalgad Municipality-4 of Jajarkot district. What was already an arduous stay got worse after the start of the monsoon—the temporary hut struggles to keep out even normal rain if it continues for some hours, Mahar says. And when it rains, the food grains and clothes get wet.
