The ICRC in Nepal

Dulegaunda, Tonahun district, Nepal. A family receives a Red Cross message from a relative who has been missing for over 18 months.

Since the end of the armed conflict in 2006, the ICRC has focused on addressing the lasting humanitarian consequences of the conflict and responding to the needs of people affected by current unrest. It supports the Nepal Red Cross Society (NRCS), relevant institutions and State authorities to improve their emergency preparedness and response capacities and promotes international humanitarian law (IHL). Most activities are conducted jointly with the NRCS, whose capacities are boosted through ICRC financial, technical and material support and training. Read full overview
