COVID19 Fundraisers for Nepal
Nepal is currently in the midst of a deadly COVID-19 second wave, recording a shocking infection rate and deaths every day. The daily infection rate hovers around 9000 cases, with about 120+ deaths every day. As. of May 14th, the country has recorded 431,191 total cases and 4466 deaths. (Source: Ministry of Health and Population, Nepal).
Nepal is experiencing a humanitarian crisis almost as bad as its neighbor — India, if not on par with it. Despite a strict lockdown that was put into place in the first week of May by the Government of Nepal to control the infection rate, cases have continued to rise, overwhelming the country’s fragile health care system. Furthermore, the cases’ intensity is seemingly high due to the highly contagious and dangerous new strain of the virus, causing severe symptoms and fatalities even in young people. Currently, COVID-19 patients in Nepal are struggling to get basic healthcare facilities, including ambulances, oxygen support, ICU beds, nurse support, etc.; cremation sites are overwhelmed; healthcare workers are drained; people are out of jobs, and daily wage workers are struggling to make their ends meet.
On raise of providing supplies and resources to this difficult times, various individuals and institutions have started raising fund to help. Following are the list of fundraisers on GoFundMe.com
