Summary

[edit]
Description

British Gurkha engineers spent last night constructing a water purification system to provide safe drinking water to people living in a camp in Kathmandu who lost their homes in last week’s earthquake.

Eighteen British Gurkhas arrived in Nepal yesterday morning to join the relief effort.


Background

On 25 April, a magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck the country, killing more than 5000 people, and injuring thousands more.

The UK is responding to Nepal's request for international help, sending search and rescue teams, emergency medics and logistical support.
