Crisis in Nepal and response from the international community

Nepal, to compare with countries in Europe, is a little larger in area than Greece but with over 27 million people, it has more than twice the current population of Greece. One of the poorest countries in the world, Nepal is sandwiched between two giant neighbours: India, which surrounds Nepalu0092s borders on three sides, and China with whom Nepal has its border on the North. The mystical Shangrila as it was known to the international community for its beautiful Himalayas and abundant natural beauty has for the past decade witnessed unprecedented violence in its history as well as political, social and economic turmoil precipitating to a situation today that is alarmingly close to a total collapse of the state.
