LANDSLIDE  

According to a report by the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization published in 2011, Nepal has one of the highest fatalities from landslides in the world. Since 2017, an additional 490 people have been killed by landslides, according to recent government data. In the 2020 year alone, 243 have died and 51 are missing. This is the second-highest of confirmed casualties on record in the past 10 years, and nearly three times higher than 2019. 

Shanti Foundation has been providing emergency medical and material assistance to the landslide-affected areas and need-based support upon the request of local government and front-line workers.
