"All the clothes and food that they had were in their home which was demolished by the earthquake," said Tanka, our project partner on the ground in western Nepal, following a 5.6 magnitude earthquake and several aftershocks on 3 November.
Thousands of families living in the remote and mountainous Jarjarkot region fled their houses close to midnight with only what they were wearing. Our partner has estimated that over 18,000 homes and at least 20 churches have been reduced to rubble.
