Being one of the world’s most disaster-prone countries, Nepal is no stranger to natural hazards, including earthquakes.
In early November 2023, a powerful earthquake shook western Nepal, leaving behind a trail of destruction. Tens of thousands of homes were damaged as the country was bracing for bitterly cold winter months.
The European Union allocated €2 million to help partners deliver vital aid to the quake-hit communities. The package included tents and winterisation kits from its European Humanitarian Response Capacity (EHRC) to make sure people stay warm while restoring their lives.
