Ramesh, 18: Double amputee and earthquake survivor looking to the future

Since the first earthquake struck on 25th April our teams in Nepal have been providing frontline emergency rehabilitation to injured people. Our physiotherapists are supporting injured people in hospitals in Kathmandu, Bidur, Trisuli and Chautara.

Sunil Pokhrel is one of the Handicap International physiotherapists at the Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital. In this short film Sunil talks about his work and we meet 18-year-old Ramesh who was buried under rubble when the earthquake struck. Ramesh lost both his legs in the disaster - our teams are supporting him in his recovery.

Psychologist Nataliia has been working in Ukraine for Humanity & Inclusion for a year. On the fourth anniversary of the start of the conflict, she describes the current situation for ordinary people displaced from their homes on the frontline who are now living in new areas which are still far from safe, with unexploded ordnances and other dangers. She says they are exhausted and discouraged. But there are positives.
