Doctors For You: NEPAL EARTHQUAKE RELIEF FUND

[additional-authors]
June 14, 2015

The earthquake that shocked Nepal last month left more than 8,000 dead as well as over 20,000 injured and countless more left homeless.  Recovery efforts have been slow as the country's already crumbling infrastructure has deteriorated even more after the earthquake, essentially cutting off aide routes to remote villages spread out over the country.  

In return, many people and communities that need supplies the most are not receiving them in a timely matter which has hindered the rebuilding process. Even though the earthquake happened more than a month ago, continuing funds and donations are needed in order to help out the people.  Loss of loved ones can never be recovered or replaced but housing and health can be.  It will take years to rebuild what was destroyed and therefore, continuing funds are needed to aid and assist in their recovery.  There are many NGOs and volunteers that are in the country right now and are aiding in the rebuilding process.  A great group of people that is helping to lead the way in the rebuilding are Doctors for You.
