Intense and unseasonal post-monsoon rains have affected Nepal over the past week, in the midst of the country's largest festival season and immediately before the typical crop harvesting period. Both mountainous (hill) and lowland (Tarai) districts have been affected by resulting floods and landslides. To date, 46 people have been reported killed, 33 injured and another 22 remain missing. Information in damages and losses are still being collected. Initial estimates are currently putting losses at under US$1 million. In the Karnali river basin, the CERF Anticipatory Action project was activated on Friday, October 7th after a one-week readiness period. Partners have provided anticipatory assistant, including WFP with cash assistance, UNFPA distributing inter-agency reproductive health kits to health facilities and dignity kits to target populations, and a deployment by UN Women of gender advisers to support a gender responsive roll-out of anticipatory response activities.
