After the August 26 Bhotekoshi flood destroyed bridges and roads in Rasuwa, Nepal, about Rs 80 million of cabbage and potatoes across four wards of Aamachhodingmo was cut off from markets. A request sent to the UN Nepal Facebook page reached the Resident Coordinator, UNDAC and humanitarian teams. World Food Programme helicopters were already flying relief in and returning empty, so teams helped build a helipad, set loading procedures and train local people. Starting October 9, helicopters moved about 8,000 kilograms of vegetables from Gre to Bidur in Nuwakot. The design used existing return capacity to reduce waste, but as much as 700 tons still awaits transport and lasting recovery depends on rebuilding the Bailey bridge at Syaphrubesi.
