Feature: Victims in Nepalese quake-hit out-of-valley districts eagerly awaiting relief

As the earthquake relief distribution programs are limited to Nepal's capital, the helpless victims of massive disaster of out of valley districts are eagerly awaiting the aid.

There has been a huge competition in assistance from the foreign nations and donor agencies, however, the government is finding it difficult to manage the post-quake havoc. The presence of relief materials seems zero, although the helicopters have been sent for immediate rescue of survivors.

The government chief secretary said on Monday that the government was preparing to send tents, medicines, food and water as well as volunteers to the affected areas soon, but no effective step has been carried out yet to reach these rural people.

Lack of these essentials, people of highly-affected out-of- valley districts Sindhupalchowk, Nuwakot, Dhading, Gorkha, Kavre, and Rasuwa have pled for support through social media.

"Third day after the earthquake, no relief has reached to Gorkha's hardest hit villages. We need to act fast now," Subash Ghimire tweeted from Gorkha Tuesday.

Some expressed their rage saying "Gorkha is home to many brave Gorkhalis who helped the world, but it is not being helped enough. "

Similarly, other local youths of Gorkha expressed their anger through social media: "Dear government, where are you? Kathmandu is not only Nepal."

They are in need of basic essentials like tents, food and water.

More than 374 people have already been confirmed dead in the district till Tuesday evening. Saturday's 7.9-magnitude earthquake jolted Nepal making an epicenter in Barpark of Gorkha district.

Similarly, helpless people of Sindhupalchowk district also complained about lack of relief materials in their region, where more than 1250 people have been confirmed dead.

Binu Shestha, a 26-year old local of Sindhupalchowk returned to her village on Monday from Kathmandu, where she was studying, to be a volunteer with her cousins in her locality.

She told Xinhua over phone "We haven't received any assistance here, and we are helpless. Rescue is still underway but no relief programs here."

Most of the villages of the area have been completely houseless as the old building have turned to rubbles.

According to the home ministry, 454,769 people have been internally displaced by the quake of Saturday, the biggest one in 80 years in the Himalayan nation.

Around 346 people have been confirmed dead in Dhading district alone, which is bordering the capital but still untouched by the relief.

Following the delay in distribution of relief, different social organizations, youth clubs and individuals have started to move towards these neglected districts with the collected food, tents and basic essentials.

Without just waiting for the government's move, they have been joining hands together to help each other at the time of such big humanitarian crisis. Endit
