    A group of approximately seven people stand on a grassy mountain meadow alongside a stack of white bundled sacks or bags. The setting appears to be a high-altitude Himalayan or similar mountain region, evidenced by snow-capped peaks in the background, forested slopes, and tall prayer flag poles. The scene suggests a supply distribution or aid delivery event in a remote mountain community.

    Nepalese villagers stand next to relief supplies in Bigu, Nepal, May 8. U.S. Marines and Nepalese soldiers delivered supplies to the rural areas of Nepal. The Nepalese government requested assistance from U.S. Agency for International Development after the 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck their country April 25. In response to the Nepal earthquake, the U.S. military sent Marines, Airmen, Soldiers and Sailors as part of Joint Task Force 505 at the direction of USAID. The U.S. Marine Corps continues to work hand-in-hand with the Nepalese government through USAID as part of Joint Task Force-505. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Mandaline Hatch/Released)
