Nepalese still waiting for earthquake reconstruction to start...

Nepalis Still Await Reconstruction a Year After Quake
April 22, 2016 — Reconstruction has been painfully slow in Nepal although a year has passed since a deadly 7.8 earthquake (April 25) killed more than 9,000 people and flattened tens of thousands of homes.

Political tensions, a slow moving bureaucracy and crippling fuel shortages have made it harder for poor people in the remote mountain country to pick up the pieces of their lives. Like thousands of Nepalese, Om Prashad, was working as a domestic servant in New Delhi when his life was turned upside down on hearing that his mountain home in the Arghakhanchi district had come crumbling down. He had built it just months before with his life savings.

He rushed back after borrowing money and slowly managed to reconstruct a small structure. He never returned to his job in India, hoping to get help from authorities who he heard had received billions of dollars in aid in the aftermath of the quake. But so far, the wait has been futile. “Whatever the government promised, nothing has come. So many people are living in tents, or managing in open spaces, many have fallen sick,” he laments.

After passing a bitingly cold winter in temporary shelters under tarpaulin or plastic sheeting, an estimated four million people are facing the prospect of huddling under the same structures when monsoon rains lash the mountains. The rubble of broken homes still litters many mountain villages and roads to the remote parts of the country have yet to be rebuilt.

With hundreds of villages flattened, Nepal’s target is to rebuild half a million destroyed homes. But the official reconstruction campaign has yet to get off the ground. Relief agencies working to help the earthquake victims have been frustrated with the snail’s pace of rehabilitation.
