Nearly six months after a 7.8-magnitude quake killed almost 8,900 people and destroyed about half a million homes in Nepall, thousands of survivors are still living in tents and other temporary shelters, dependent on aid, AFP reports.
But the three-week blockade of a major border checkpoint by protesters who reject Nepal's new constitution has sparked a fuel shortage and nationwide rationing, with vital supplies unable to get through.
Aid organisations say the fuel crisis has severely hampered their operations and the continued shortage could cut off relief supplies to communities in far-flung areas of the country.
The World Food Programme (WFP) said it had been forced to halt distribution of relief goods and shelter supplies to 224,000 quake victims because of the shortage.
