There are 93 thousand people affected by the disaster in Nepal, according to the data mentioned in the analysis carried out by Gonçalo Órfão, national emergency coordinator at the Red Cross. The disaster represents a problem that will extend over years, affecting a very significant number of the local population.
Gonçalo Órfão analyses the search and rescue operations that are being carried out in Nepal in the context of this disaster. His perspective as national emergency coordinator at the Red Cross allows him to assess the scale and complexity of the ongoing operations.
The Red Cross is directly involved in the response to this emergency, mobilising resources and personnel to support the rescue and assistance operations for the victims. The organisation faces the challenge of responding to a situation that is expected to be long-lasting and that will require continuous efforts over the coming years.
