Building temporary shelters for quake-displaced slows down

The earthquake-affected people have enough wood to construct temporary huts but no manpower.

Dambara BK, an earthquake survivor from Sanibheri Rural Municipality-4 in Rukum West, decided weeks ago to construct a temporary shelter near her quake-damaged house by the peak of winter. But her plan could not materialise due to a shortage of manpower. Her husband is abroad for employment and she has been languishing under a flimsy tent with her two children, aged three and eight, after the magnitude 6.4 earthquake damaged her house on November 3.
