{Aid efforts remain slow as local villagers brace for freezing conditions nine months after devastating earthquake.}<\/p>\n
It has been nine months since a magnitude 7.8 earthquake hit Nepal, killing at least 8,000 people and displacing hundreds of thousands of families.<\/p>\n
Now Nepal’s government is facing a new challenge – preparing disaster survivors for winter’s cold weather.<\/p>\n
The government has started distributing $100 to families to buy warm clothes, but local villagers say the amount is only enough to meet their short-term food needs.<\/p>\n
In Sindhupalchowk district, one of the worst-hit areas in the earthquake, six people have died so far this winter.<\/p>\n
According to Gokarna Mani Duwad, Sindhupalchowk district’s chief officer, the reconstruction of houses has also been going slow.<\/p>\n
“The earthquake was in April. The reconstruction authority has only been established now,” Duwad said.<\/p>\n
