Disaster Overview
A powerful earthquake struck Nepal in 2015, claiming over 9,000 lives, injuring 20,000, and displacing 2 million people. The destruction was widespread, impacting both remote mountain villages and urban centers. IFA deployed in coordination with the IDF to support the Nepalese people. IFA developed targeted programs to deliver direct aid to marginalized communities—including those from the lower castes. While most international aid was blocked from reaching these groups due to roadblocks, IFA found alternative pathways to ensure that life-saving supplies and care reached those who would have otherwise been left behind.

Impact
IFA provided direct medical care to 420 individuals in affected communities. To support long-term recovery, we distributed 12 tons of corrugated iron sheets, enabling 181 families (totaling 1,081 people) to repair and rebuild their homes. In addition, we supplied 3 tons of rice, providing essential nutrition to 600 people during the critical immediate post-disaster period.
