The earthquake killed 31,000 people, injured 30,000 and made 75,000 homeless. Almost one third of all school children were killed. Within the first 48 hours, UNICEF delivered two planeloads of essential supplies such as emergency sanitation equipment, health and obstetric kits, blankets, generators and other shelter supplies. Since then, UNICEF has focused on providing water and sanitation, child protection, education and health and nutrition.
