Mothers and Infants Face Challenges in Nepal Flood Relief Shelters
Nearly two weeks after Nepal's August 26 flash floods, displaced mothers, infants, and pregnant women in crowded shelters face shortages of baby food, lack of privacy, and limited medical support. Many, including Sharmila Shrestha, struggle to feed toddlers adult food due to the absence of specialized supplies. Breastfeeding mothers find it difficult to nurse in shared spaces, while pregnant women worry about accessing hospitals amid challenging conditions. Relief efforts have yet to fully address these specific needs in flood-affected districts.
