<p>The UK government is the second largest Organisation for Economic Co-Operation
and Development (OECD) contributor to the 2015 Nepal earthquake response, after Japan.
The UK Government pledged £70m at the June 2015 International Conference for Nepal’s
Recovery, which has been followed by a five year £83m reconstruction programme. We
provided over 250,000 people with emergency shelter; over 200,000 people with winter
including clothes, blankets and mattresses; and over 2000 hours of helicopter operations
to reach communities inaccessible by road. Our assistance was provided via humanitarian
delivery partners, including the use of volunteers by Voluntary Service Overseas,
the Nepal Red Cross and the Nepal Scout Association.</p>
