Nepal Floods Disrupt Jobs And Livelihoods Beyond Affected Communities
The ILO says deadly flash floods in northern Nepal have disrupted employment and livelihoods beyond directly affected areas.
What happened
The International Labour Organization’s preliminary assessment says deadly flash floods in northern Nepal have severely disrupted jobs and livelihoods. The disruption extends beyond communities directly hit by the disaster, affecting employment and livelihoods in wider areas. The assessment was released on Thursday, but the available source provides no estimate of affected workers or economic losses.
Why it matters
The floods’ employment impact is broader than the immediate disaster zone, putting livelihoods at risk across surrounding areas, according to the ILO.
