New Zealand Grants Nepal Earthquake Refugees Residency

In April of 2015, a big earthquake shook Nepal. This was known and reported as Gorkha earthquake. It was quite devastating as it took the lives of almost 9,000 individuals. Aside from those, there were around 22,000 who got injured because of it. The Gorkha earthquake was measured to be at a magnitude of 7.8.

Because of this, plenty of people were left homeless. Some had to resort to fleeing their country because they believed that it was unsafe to live there anymore. One of the countries where these refugees fled to was New Zealand. And New Zealand, being a nation that was built by immigrants, was more than happy to share their land with these homeless people.

Recently, the country has granted Nepalese refugees who found haven in New Zealand residency. This is definitely good news as it means that these individuals do not have to fear about being sent back to their own country. Plus, with a residency, they can fully appreciate and enjoy the benefits that come with it.

The story of a couple refugee

Two of those who made their way to New Zealand were a couple. Recently, they were given residency status and thus this means that they continue living in New Zealand and this was all because of the post traumatic stress disorder (which is also known as PTSD) that they have gotten because of what they had to go through during the earthquake in Nepal back in 2015. PTSD is not a simple matter and it can be a part of the lives of individuals for many years.

The couple who found a new home in New Zealand had to leave their country. They were already retired and they did not have place to call home in Nepal as the earthquake destroyed that. The earthquake also gave them trauma. They continued to suffer from chronic pain. These were not really good things to have and so New Zealand decided that they could stay in the country for as long as they wanted.

Residency granted

The couple had tried to get a refugee status previously. However, they were denied that. The good side though is that they were given residency status as a part the country’s humanitarian reasons.

The couple definitely is in good hands now that they are in New Zealand. Being new to the country is not going to be quite a big deal as most of the people there have come from other countries as well. Immigrants are all over the country and so they know how it feels to be in a new country. There are support communities that assist newcomers to the country. This is how immigrants are able to adapt to New Zealand.
