Nepal: "Nobody can help us" - village resident despairs at lack of aid

Residents of Palanchok Skhivhar began the desperate process of rebuilding their destroyed village on Wednesday. The Mountain top village in the Kavre Planchok region, south eastern Nepal, was one of the worst hit areas in the whole country. A Palanchok Skhivhar resident, who did not provide his name, decried that "nobody can help us". Due to the remote nature of the region and the devastation across the country, aid has not yet reached them. Humanitarian workers and volunteers are busy operating in other areas of Nepal, assessing the damage and evaluating exactly what is required in the disaster-struck country. According to officials, the death toll has risen to more than 5,000, with almost 8,000 people injured and more than eight million people affected by the tragedy.
