Activities to prepare for the monsoon are accelerating, including distributing upgraded shelter kits and improvements to pathways and bridges to maintain access. The UK is providing 152,000 people with emergency shelter and more than 100,000 households will receive guidance on how to build improved, safer shelters. Overall, 450,000 people will benefit from UK support to make their shelters more resilient to rain and heavy winds.
