The government on Monday afternoon admitted that it urgently needs tents, dry food, mattresses, medicine and other essentials. It has urged foreign countries to provide more assistance.

There is also a scarcity of water in the capital. People have to buy bottled water, which they cannot afford even on normal days. Even though there is a high possibility of water borne diseases.
