On 26 August 2026, a catastrophic flash flood hit Nepal<\/strong>\u00a0along the Bhote Koshi\u2013Trishuli river system, causing severe damage and numerous casualties in the districts of Rasuwa, Nuwakot, Dhading and Gorkha<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Search and rescue operations are ongoing. As of 7 September, 1,356 bodies have been recovered<\/strong>, while 4,994 people are still missing<\/strong> or unaccounted for. 13,396 people have been rescued<\/strong> and 6,676 injured people have received medical care<\/strong>. Overall, approximately 1.6 million people have been affected by the emergency<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The floods damaged homes, roads, bridges, schools and healthcare facilities, and also caused extensive losses to farmland and livelihoods. Rasuwa remains the epicentre of the emergency<\/strong>, but the consequences also extend to Nuwakot, Dhading and other districts.<\/p>\n

Reaching the worst-affected areas is extremely challenging<\/strong>: many roads are damaged, several bridges have collapsed, and trucks leaving Kathmandu can take up to 10 hours to reach their destination.<\/p>\n

Together with our local partners, ActionAid has managed to reach several affected communities and continues to distribute essential supplies to the most vulnerable people<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

On 7 September, in Thupche<\/strong>, in Nuwakot district, we provided assistance to 100 families<\/strong>, distributing hygiene kits; clothing and essential items for women and men; cooking utensils and food; mattresses and blankets.<\/p>\n

In the days before, in the districts of Rasuwa and Dhading, we also distributed 1,400 kg of food, 200 blankets, 180 sleeping bags, 150 hygiene kits and 150 mosquito nets.<\/p>\n

We continue to monitor the situation<\/strong> and work with local organisations to provide assistance to families who have lost their homes, crops, jobs and all sources of income.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
