€80,000 have so far been collected by SOS Malta for the rebuilding of villages in the Dhading District in Nepal.

Thousands of fear-stricken people spent last night outdoors after a new earthquake killed dozens of people and spread more misery in Nepal.

The country is still reeling from a devastating quake that killed more than 8,000 nearly three weeks ago.

In a statement this morning, SOS Malta said efforts for Nepal had to be scaled up and once the initial relief work was complete SOS Malta would transition to support longer-term recovery efforts in partnership with locally run organisations.

“We are in touch with Save the Children in Kathmandu.

“SOS Malta will be strategising long-term building by adopting small villages to assist in reconstruction of homes, rain water harvesting systems and livelihood recovery,” it said.
