Algunos de estos aldeanos caminaron un día y medio para llegar hasta este lugar donde se estaba entregando comida. Más de 600000 personas de la región montañosa de las zonas rurales se enfrentan a una lucha diaria para conseguir lo suficiente para comer. Esta fue una de las últimas entregas. La falta de fondos puso fin a los suministros internacionales, el mes pasado. Ahora, el Programa Mundial de Alimentos dice que se reanudarán las entregas después de recibir una ayuda monetaria de los donantes. [Richard Ragan, representante del PMA]: "Sí, es difícil trabajar allí. Sí, es caro trabajar allí. Pero no podemos ignorarlo más. Este es el siglo 21 y no podemos dejar atrás a una sola parte de la sociedad". Los problemas de Nepal no han sido causados por un repentino desastre natural devastador, como el terremoto de Haití. La Unión Europea, que ha destinado 23 millones de dólares a la seguridad alimenticia en la región, dice que el gobierno y otros deberían haberlo previsto. [Alexander Seachis, Delegación de la Unión Europea]: "Por 20 y 30 años, los donantes y el gobierno de Nepal no abordaron los problemas de suficiencia y seguridad alimenticia. Los diez años de conflictos internos, no ayudaron en absoluto. Ha aumento todo esto. Así que aquí estamos ante el resultado de lo que ha evolucionado durante 20 años, especialmente en los últimos 10 años". Los que ahora pagan el precio también culpan al clima.

For many, Nepal conjures up notions of Mount Everest, Buddhist monks, and hippies seeking a Himalayan high. But this next story shows another side of Nepal -- a country recovering from a decade of civil war in which Maoist rebels recently brought down the long-standing monarchy.
