Status matters. This page records a sourced development, not a completed No Halo investigation. An allegation is not a finding. Dismissals, settlements, judgments, corrections and final outcomes remain distinct.
Donor relevance
Why this matters
The reported shipment volume indicates substantial medical logistics capacity across domestic and international programs. The Nepal delivery also illustrates efforts to reach households cut off by damaged roads and bridges.
Attribution
Who reported or established this
Direct Relief reported the shipment totals, medication volume and Nepal distribution in its weekly operational update.
Evidence limits
What remains unverified
No Halo has not independently reviewed shipping records, recipient confirmations, medication valuations, dose calculations or household distribution records. The figures come from the charity itself.
Right of reply
Organization response
The publication is Direct Relief’s own operational response. It said the aid was requested by recipient facilities and that local partner Mountain Heart Nepal prioritized households with major losses, women and older residents.
