27. IMPACTS: GO FROM BAD TO WORSE “Among the 14 quake-hit districts, some are inaccessible. A large part of the population can not be reached because of new landslides and damage to the roads.“

28. LANDSLIDES AND ROAD DAMAGE The area experienced 17 landslides that occurred along a single road between Nyalam County and the Nepal border.

29. ROAD CLEARANCE IS URGENT More than 400 military personnel, police and other emergency relief workers have been sent to the stricken areas for road clearance.

32. Meanwhile, more than 100 foreign mountaineers and their Nepali staff were airlifted by private helicopters, angering many Nepalese waiting for evacuation and/or relief.

33. Mounting demands for emergency supplies across the country have completely overwhelmed local capabilities, prompting India, China, and the United States to contribute 23 more helicopters to the relief efforts..

34. However, some of the helicopters (e.g., the USA’s Osprey) proved to be useless in Nepal

35. IMPACTS: GO FROM BAD TO WORSE " Some locations are even difficult to reach by helicopter.” “We are facing monumental challenge to support the government in these districts, and to have a credible and timely response,"

36. The main bottleneck to relief efforts is Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA), Nepal’s one-runway facility with adjoining helipad, military base, and customs house that is overwhelmed.

37. DEATHS AND INJURIES: GO FROM BAD TO WORSE At least 76 people were killed in India, Nepal and Tibet, and more than 2,000 were injured in the May 12 th earthquake, - - - adding to earlier tolls of over 8,200 dead and almost 18,000 injured in the April 25 th quake.

38. FROM BAD TO WORSE ON HOUSING The May 12 th earthquake added to the housing deficit, which, according to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, reached nearly ½ million (255,954 destroyed; 234,102 damaged) in the April 25 th quake.
