More than one week on from Nepal's floods, thousands of children remain without safe water and face rising risk of disease

Families face enormous challenges in maintaining hygiene due to damaged water systems and sanitation facilities. Crowding into shared spaces increases the risk of disease outbreaks. Thousands of children are affected, with limited access to safe water.

Damage to community water schemes and larger networks has disrupted supply. Sanitation facilities have also been damaged or destroyed, raising health concerns. Further information on the situation and response efforts is available from ReliefWeb.
