Seged Kinde, 4th grade teacher at the AraraKidanemeherete Primary school says that she has many children in her classroom who did not have exercise booksbecause their families were unable to buy it for them. The school has identified children in relatively worst economic situation and provided some school materials. Seged adds that there are many children who are less attentive this year and she believes it is because most of them come to school in an empty stomach. © UNICEF Ethiopia/ 2016/Nahom Tesfaye

Work was on-going by the second and everyone shown tremendous ability to overcome the experience and put forth efforts to contain the damage.

Two days ago, a big earthquake hit Osaka.
Since the earthquake happens suddenly, we always need to get ready.
This image shows lfive things that should be done when an earthquake occurred.
In Dolakha, Plan gave a camera to a 14-year-old boy and his 11-year-old brother so they could capture images of their home, schools and lives after the earthquake.
"The school is broken, everything has been smashed," said the 14-year-old boy.
"When the earthquake happened, we ran, jumping, but it kept coming and coming. At first we weren't scared, but then it got bigger and bigger and the house started shaking," he adds.
"Now it's difficult to stay in the house, it's hard to find clean places. Now we are fixing it, but when it rains it's cold and wet. I got sick recently with a headache and a stomach ache," he says.
The brothers have big plans, so it's important their schools get up and running as quickly as possible.
"After school I want to join the army to save my place, and my home, and my country. I want to go to Australia and join the army there. I like Australia because I like fast cars and kangaroo fights," says the 11-year-old boy, who adds that he misses playing with his friends.
For the 14-year-old boy: "I want to be a trekker when I leave school so I can travel around the world."
Before any of that can happen though, there's the small task of knocking down the old house and rebuilding the family home bigger, better and stronger than ever.
"For now, my only wish is that my family can stay together and we can rebuild our house stronger than it was before so we can stay safe and nobody dies," he adds.
"It will take years for Nepal to recover from this earthquake, but we can surely be better prepared for the next one."

A first grade students at the Gedayasu Primary school which is found in the drought affected part of the Amhara region. Headmaster of the school says majority of their students suffered from scabies since the school year started in September but have all received treatment from the nearby health post. Besides scabies, the headmaster adds that the drought has affected the teaching learning process as students are less attentive in class due to hunger and many are unable to come with the right school materials.©UNICEF Ethiopia/ 2016/Nahom Tesfaye
3. Increased physical danger
It is not uncommon for pregnant women to go into labour while searching for water, but giving birth in established health centres that lack water can be equally dangerous. Lack of basic cleanliness and sterilization put both mother and baby at risk.
Equally worrisome, women and children forced to walk miles through remote parts of the country early in the morning or late at night face increased risk of attack from wild animals, especially hyaenas. Their exhausting journeys, day after day after day, also take a toll, exacerbating health problems and preventing women from entering the workforce or even doing household chores.
I recently flew from Boise to Los Angeles. We heard about the wildfires and hurricane force Santa Ana winds but the sight of the smoke, fire, and devastation was horrific. We flew parallel to the wildfire cloud before entering it. It was like a black/orange whiteout, we were really bouncing around. When we emerged from the cloud we were over the Pacific Ocean and it looked like an angry hurricane was happening below us. Wow. These IPhone photos don’t do it justice. My heart goes out to everyone affected by this nightmare. I took these photos on 8 January 2025.
