Nearly 66 lakh people in Nepal have been affected by the devastating earthquake, the United Nations office in Kathmandu said on Sunday.
The earthquake triggered an avalanche in the Mount Everest area, burying parts of the Everest base camp.”Rescue and relief operations may be hampered with the monsoon fast approaching,” said the UN.
The United Nations Resident Coordinator’s Office and other UN agencies will work under the leadership of the Nepal government with the support of a United Nations Disaster Assessment Team.
