HKRC urges more than just financial support for Nepal mudslide victims

Two months have passed since the mudslide that killed at least one thousand people in Nepal.

The Hong Kong Red Cross has deployed personnel on site to assist with humanitarian efforts, stressing that many are still suffering from the devastation and will seek long-term help for survivors.

In each evacuation centre I am visiting, I was able to identify one to two cases of people who would like to kill themselves.

Many people are becoming hopeless because of what happened.

The way we provide support is not only through cash, material things, but also to help them to recover, support them in their mental health and psychosocial well-being.
