Humanitarian Support to Koshi Flood Victim, NepalThousands of persons of Kusaha, Haripur, Shreepur, Loukahi, and Bhokraha Village Development Committees (VDC) of Sunsari district, Nepal have fled their homes after the swollen Sapatakoshi (Koshi) River damaged an embankment in western Kusaha immediately inundating dozens of settlements in the VDCs. Apart from these VDCs, 7 more VDCs were also partly affected. Two spurs in western Kusaha VDC started to erode on 17 August 2008 and it damaged the embankment the same night. Settlements in the eastern bank of the Saptakoshi River started to be submerged from 18 August. The floods have caused significant damage to lives, livelihoods and infrastructure. Bridges and culverts have collapsed. Drinking water and electricity supplies, schools and public buildings are destroyed and many private houses, property, domestic animals and corpses were swept away. The Ministry of Home Affairs estimates that about 20,000 families (more than 100 thousands persons) have been directly affected and displaced.
We kindly request all of Diaspora and friends of Nepal who are in Austria either permanently or temporarily, to contribute funds to support relief efforts for the flood victim, Nepal. Last year, there was a similar occurrence and the some organizations here contributed to the relief work. As in the past, all contributions can make a difference in the lives of those suffering from this natural calamity. In this regards, we all from Nepalese society, Nepal thank all who have readily responded to such calls in the past and hope you will do so again.
