Nonprofit jumps into action to respond to Nepal floods

O. REACH. JON: STEPHANIE BENNETT REPORTING. LIVE. THANK YOU. THE NONPROFIT GROUP ALL HANDS. AND HEARTS HAS WORORKED IN NEPAL. FOR MORE THAN A DECADE HELPING. COMMUNITIES REBUILD AFTER. DISASTERS. NOW IT'S TEAM IS RESPONDING TO. THIS LATEST CATASTROPHE. DELIVERING RESCUE KITS TO TRY TO. SUPPORT THE SEARCH EFFORTS FOR. THEIR WORKING WITH LOCAL. AUTHORITIES AND THE PULS RED. CROSS TO GET AID TO WHERE IT IS. NEEDED MOST. NATE MOOK THE SEAL OF ALL HANDS.

AND HEARTS HE JOINS US NOW. IT IS OUR UNDERSTANDING YOU HAVE. ALREADY MANAGED TO GET ONE. RESCUE TRUCK OR ONE TRUCK WITH. RESCUE SUPPLIES INTO THE. AFFECTED AREA. HOW DID YOU MANAGE THAT? >> IT IS EXTRAORDINARILY COMPLEX. AS STEPHANIE SAID. THIS AREA IS VERY HARD TO ACCESS. WITH LITTLE ROADS AND MANY OF. THE BRIDGES WASHED OUT. WE ARE WORKING VERY CLOSELY WITH. THE ARMY AND THE SEARCH H AND. RESCUE TEAMS THAT ARE GOING IN.

BY HELICOPTER. TODAY WE DELIVERED A LOT OF. SUPPLIES OF THE ARMY BASE WHICH. IS SORT OF SERVING ACTS AS A. STAGING AREA. FROM THERE THE SUPPLIES ARE. GOING INTO HELP THE RESCUE TEAMS. AND ALSO REACHING SOME OF THE. HARD-HIT AREAS% OF THE REASONS. AND NUMBERS ARE SPIKING NOW IN. TERMS OF MISSING HIS TEAMS ARE. JUST NOW GETTING TO SOME OF. THESE VERY REMOTE AND CUT OFF. AREAS BECAUSE OF THE SIZE OF THE. DEVASTATION OF THIS DISASTER. JON: AND WANT TO READ SOMETHING. US ON A WIRE SERVICE REPORT THAT.

A SORT OF ALMOST CANNOT BELIEVE. THAT IT IS TRUE BUT THAT NEPAL. GOVERNMENT REPORTEDLY SAID THEY. DO NOT NEED HELP FROM PEOPLE. WITH GENERALIZED SEARCH AND. RESCUE EXPERIENCE. BASICALLY THEY NEED MONEY. ARE THEY TURNING DOWN HELP. ACTUALLY? >> YOU KNOW, I THINK IN THESE. SITUATIONS A SPECIAL IN THE. EARLY DAYS THE FIRST FEW DATES. IT'S EXTRAORDINARILY COMPLEX. THINK ONE OF THE REASONS PERHAPS. THEY ARE SAYING THIS IS TO MAKE.

SURE AN AREA THAT IS RELATIVELY. HARD TO ACCESS DOES NOT GET. OVERWHWHELMED WITH THE FOREIGN. GROUPS ARE OUTSIDERS COMING INTO. SUPPORT FOR WAS ELVIS IN. VENEZUELA FOR EXAMPLE AFTER THE. EARTHQUAKE. A HUGE SURGE OF SUPPORT COMING. IN WHICH WAS OBSOLETE NECESSARY. AFTER THE EARTHQUAKE BUT I THINK. THE NEPALI GOVERNMENT WANTS TO. MAKE SURE THEY CAN HAVE SOME. SORT OF COORDINATION AND. CONTROL. OUR TEAM AS YOU MENTION HAS BEEN. IN NEPAL FOR OVER 10 YEARS SINCE.

A BIG 2015 EARTHQUAKE. WE WERE ALREADY THERE ON THE. GROUND WITH OUR STAFF TO BE ABLE. TO GO IN. IS IT TRUE THE ARMY AND THE E RD. CROSS ARE HEAVILY CONTROLLING. THE AREA BECAUSE IT IS ALSO VERY. DANGEROUS RIGHT NOW. IT IS STILL MONSOON SEASON IS. STILL RAINING PUT OUR TEAMS HAVE. HAD TO EVACUATE TWICE AND IT IS. HARD TO KNOW WHETHER IT IS SAFE. IN SOME OF THESE AREAS RIGHT NOW. BECAUSE THERE COULD BE FURTHER. FLOODS. JON: SHORT WEBSITE IS ALL HANDS.

AND HEARTS.ORG. TAKE 10 SECONDS AND SAY WHAT DO. YOU NEED MOST? >> RIGHT NOW, FINANCIAL SUPPORT. IS KEY. THE $5, $10, WHATEVER PEOPLE. DONATES TRANSLATE DIRECTLY INTO. SUPPLIES THAT WE CAN GET TO. COMMUNITIES AND FAMILIES ON THE. GROUND. TO DATE WE WERE AT RELOCATION. CENTERS PER WERE EVACUATED. FAMILIES HAVE BEEN. THIS HELPS US THE MOST WILL HAVE. OPPORTUNITIES FOR FOLKS TO COME. AND VOLUNTEER. THIS IS A LONG ROAD AHEAD FOR. THE PEOPLE OF NEPAL AND ALL THE.

SUPPORT IS GOING TO BE NEEDED. JON: THAT VIDEO WAS UNBELIEVABLI.
