<p>The UK is providing more than £33 million to the earthquake response in Nepal.
This includes £10 million for a new health programme so 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. This was announced by DFID’s Secretary of State
during her visit to Nepal on 19-20 May. Our support has also provided many thousands
of needy people and affected communities with access to clean water and essential
shelter, and has transported thousands of boxes of food rations and lanterns. Our
pre-positioned water, sanitation, and hygiene supplies have also reached thousands
of people.</p>
