Christine Bragale challenges of aid distribution
The dire situation in Nepal is getting worse after it was walloped by a second strong earthquake in as many weeks. Disaster teams are worried damaged buildings aren’t safe. It means more tent cities popping up across the country. Which of course adds to the challenge of getting food and aid to people cut off by landslides and broken roads. CCTV spoke to Christine Bragale. She’s director of media relations at Mercy Corps, which has teams on the ground there now.
