"Oxfam in Nepal is closely monitoring the situation and coordinating with relevant government and humanitarian organisations. Of the three districts currently impacted, Oxfam has an ongoing operational footprint in Dhading and an established mandate to work in Nuwakot and Rasuwa. Oxfam is in contact with partners and other humanitarian organisations to support the emerging needs assessment and understand potential response gaps.

"Given the sudden onset, constrained access and continuing downstream risk, Oxfam is assessing the evolving humanitarian situation and potential response options through established coordination mechanisms. Any response will be locally led through partners, and focus on emergency food, water, sanitation, hygiene and shelter. With particular support to highly vulnerable households."
