Carsten Erler/iStock/Thinkstock(NEW YORK) — Getting relief into parts of Nepal devastated by last week’s earthquake continues to be difficult.
Valerie Amos, the UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, acknowledged the problem on Friday.
“Of course we are worried it is taking so long to get to people who desperately need aid. I mean some of those villages are virtually flattened,” she said. “But it is very, very hard to see how we are going to get to them.”
In some cases landslides are preventing choppers from getting in, according to officials. In other locations, there is simply no place for them to set-down.
