Last monsoon a large number of Terai districts were severely affected by one of the worst floods the country had experienced in a decade. A rapid inter-agency flood assessment (WFP, UNICEF and SC Alliance) was conducted in the second-half of August leading to an emergency response where WFP distributed 2,365 Mt of rice, 364 Mt of pulses, 154 Mt of vegetable oil and 46 Mt of salt to almost 200,000 beneficiaries in 12 of the worst affected districts. Numerous other organizations (UN, NGO and GoN) equally provided essential emergency relief.
