> The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies says Nepal’s immediate challenges include both the scale of destruction and the difficulty of reaching communities after roads, bridges and communications were swept away. Search and rescue and life-saving aid remain the priority as longer-term recovery preparations begin. Local volunteers are also coping with lost homes or relatives.
