Nepal Floods Create Challenges for Mothers and Infants in Crowded Shelters
The August 26 flash floods in Nepal displaced many families, forcing mothers and babies into crowded shelters lacking adequate resources. Mothers like Sharmila Shrestha face challenges feeding their young children, who receive adult food due to the absence of baby-specific nutrition. Breastfeeding mothers struggle in shared spaces with limited privacy, while pregnant women worry about accessing medical care. The shelters, often classrooms, are overcrowded and lack basic facilities, intensifying the hardships for vulnerable mothers and infants.
