IOM, Nepal has been busy due to a massive landslide in the east of the country. Just this week, the Government of Nepal activated the clusters to respond to the crisis. As part of the Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM) cluster lead, IOM-broadly speaking- is assisting to establish a temporary camp for the survivors of the landslide.
