<p>The UK is providing more than £33 million to the earthquake response in Nepal –
making us the largest donor to the relief operation. Assistance from the UK Government
has provided thousands of needy people and affected communities with water purification
jerrycans and essential shelter, and has transported a huge volume of boxes of food
rations and lanterns. A new health programme, announced by the Secretary of State
during her visit in May, will ensure that children can continue to be immunised, women
can deliver babies safely and work can commence on rebuilding up to 1,000 damaged
health facilities. Our pre-positioned water, sanitation, and hygiene supplies have
also reached thousands of people.</p><p> </p><p> </p>
