Due to hazardous travel conditions to remote areas, the task of reaching desperate victims is challenging but RI is extending its capacities to the limit.

"It is imperative to provide sick and injured survivors with immediate medical help as freezing weather, poor access to food and water will further jeopardize the welfare of the community."
