Our heartfelt sympathies to cooperators and people of Nepal
The morning of April 25, a devastating magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck Nepal. Much of Kathmandu is reduced to rubble and survivors have little refuge from continued aftershocks. The death toll is climbing at an alarming rate as survivors struggle to dig through the rubble desperately trying to free loved ones and neighbors.
Our hearts go out to our brother and sister cooperators suffering from the recent earthquake in Nepal. We would like to extend our deepest sympathies to the bereaved and displaced families on behalf of ICA.
We are waiting to hear from our members about on-the-ground situation. We know it won’t be pretty and that the needs will be significant, with millions affected. The International Co-operative Alliance is launching an immediate appeal to assist in relief and to rebuild co-operatives in Nepal.

For Medical Services
APHCO, the Asia-Pacific Health Co-operative Organisation calls to support the devastated regions with medicines and medical supplies, to be sent to Phect-NEPAL. Phect-NEPAL is an APHCO member, with hospitals and clinics in Kathmandu and Kirtipur, and which provides relief and medical services to an enormous amount of afflicted people.
To continue medical services, medicines and medical supplies urgently needed. However, as the use of Kathmandu international airport is currently strictly limited, the only way to transport emergency supplies is over land. Through ICA-AP, APHCO requests member organisations to send medicines and medical supplies directly to Phect-NEPAL by land transport.
