Heavy rainfall in August, followed by severe flash floods in September, affected more than 200,000 people throughout the South Asian country and displaced at least 70,000. WHO has already sent mobile health teams and medical supplies to the affected areas, in collaboration with the Nepalese Ministry of Health and Population.
The three pneumatic tents will be used to support on-going health emergency response operations in Sunsari and Saptari, the districts most affected by the flooding, WHO said.
