Nepal humanitarian crisis ( 2015-2017 ) developed owing to a lack of action following the April 2015 Nepal earthquake and its aftershocks . It was compounded by political factors as a result of the 2015 Nepal blockade . Victims of the earthquakes were still living in flimsy , temporary shelters more than a year after the initial devastation . The governmental National Reconstruction Authority had not devised relocation plans for these people as recently as July 2016 . In Sindhupalchok District , the region that had suffered the worst devastation , the humanitarian situation was a little better towards the end of 2016 than it had been in 2015 . Development indicators dropped with the passage of time . Nepal had ranked among the countries that had seen remarkable development gains pre-quake ; post-quake reversal of gains led to around 43 % of the urban population lacking access to even a decent toilet . It has been reported that one of the primary reasons for girls dropping out or irregularly attending school was the lack of toilets
