Disaster survivors in Nepal continue to suffer and dream of a dignified life, says a report, pointing at inadequate efforts on the part of the government during post-disaster period.

“The government’s efforts during the post-disaster period are inadequate in protecting the rights and dignity of disaster survivors due to lack of systematic planning and participation of the communities,” says the report titled “Life after Devastation: Findings from the Ground” released on Friday amid a programme to mark the World Humanitarian Day.

The report released by the Humanitarian Accountability Monitoring Initiative (HAMI) and Oxfam Nepal is a compilation of findings of a field-based study carried out in nine districts that were hard hit by major disasters that include the Koshi flooding in 2008, Jure landslide in 2014 and the devastating earthquake in 2015.

There are still hundreds of survivors from various disasters living in temporary shelters—either inside community forests, along the highways or near the disaster-hit areas—and lack the access to basic facilities, says the report.

Addressing the programme, Sushil Gyewali, chief executive officer of the National Reconstruction Authority expressed his commitment not to repeat the mistakes made in the aftermath of earlier disasters. The survivors of last year’s earthquake are still living in temporary shelters, awaiting the government grant of Rs 200,000 for rebuilding their houses. “We hope to provide the first tranche before Dashain this year,” he said. While the survivors of last year’s quake continue to suffer, the report paints a bleak picture of efforts carried out for the survivors of other major disasters.

Rohit Parajuli, one of the survivors of the Jure landslide in Sindhupalchok in August 2014, said hundreds of families were yet to get proper support even two years after the disaster. At least 156 people were killed in the Jure landslide.

“Disaster victims continue to face multiple challenges several years after disaster,” says the report.
