KATHMANDU, Nepal (AP) The first supplies of food aid began reaching
remote, earthquake-shattered mountain villages in Nepal, while thousands
clamored to board buses out of Kathmandu, either to check on rural
relatives or for fear of spending yet another night in the damaged
capital.
.
Frustration over the slow delivery of humanitarian aid boiled over in a
protest in the city, with about 200 people facing off with police and
blocking traffic.
.
The protest was comparatively small and no demonstrators were detained.
But it reflected growing anger over bottlenecks that delayed much-needed
relief days after the powerful earthquake that killed more than 5,500
people, injured twice that many and left tens of thousands homeless.
Police, meanwhile, arrested dozens of people on suspicion of looting or
causing panic by spreading rumors of another big quake.
.
Helicopters finally brought food, temporary shelter and other aid to
hamlets north of Kathmandu in the mountainous Gorkha District near the
epicenter of Saturday's 7.8-magnitude quake. Entire clusters of homes
there were reduced to piles of stone and splintered wood. Women greeted
the delivery with repeated cries of "We are hungry!"
.
While the death toll in the village of Gumda was low only five people
were killed and 20 were injured among 1,300 residents most had lost their
homes and desperately needed temporary shelter, along with the 40-kilogram
(90-pound) sacks of rice that were delivered Wednesday. Adding to
residents' misery was the rain that has fallen periodically since the
quake and hampered helicopter aid flights.
.
The U.N. World Food Program warned that it will take time for food and
other supplies to reach more remote communities that have been cut off by
landslides.
