They will be chosen according to the beneficiary lists prepared by partners in Nepal. 
It is worth mentioning that Nepal has witnessed heavy seasonal rains continued for 2 weeks, caused landsides that destroyed the infrastructure such as roads, farms, markets, power and communication cuts, which impeded relief transport. The country has not yet recovered from the effects of  2014 floods and 2015 earthquakes, and still suffers from those disasters. 
According to formal reports 27 districts affected by the disaster, 19 out of which has been totally affected, the toll of death reached 143 people, 117 injured and 24 missing.

In addition to that 158,000 people displaced, 18,774 out of them sheltered at schools and public places in 6 of the most affected districts while others resorted to unplanned areas.
Numbers of damages are expected to rise with continued downpour of rains, and the difficulty of response teams to reach these areas. The needs of these people is focused in shelter, clean drinking water, sanitation & hygiene facilities, in order to avoid spread of communicable diseases specially in crowded camps.
