UN warns of major challenge in reaching Nepal quake victims

Relief workers face huge challenges in reaching the remote mountain areas worst hit by the earthquake in Nepal, with heavy rains exacerbating the problems, the UN said Tuesday.

 

Resident coordinator for Nepal Jamie McGoldrick said around half those living in the districts worst affected by the earthquake have lost their homes, describing the suffering as "horrendous."

 

"Our big challenge now is getting out of Kathmandu and into the more affected areas, the epicenter," he said.
