KIRDARC Nepal Responds to Devastating Flash Floods with Emergency Relief Support

KIRDARC Nepal has mobilized emergency humanitarian support for communities affected by the devastating flash floods that struck northern and central Nepal on 26 August 2026.

The sudden and powerful surge of floodwater affected communities in and around Timure, Rasuwagadhi and Syabrubesi in Rasuwa District before impacting areas downstream along the Trishuli River corridor. The disaster caused widespread destruction to homes, settlements, markets, roads, bridges and other critical infrastructure, leaving many families in urgent need of food, safe shelter, clean water, hygiene support and other essential assistance.

As the situation continued to evolve, access to several affected areas remained challenging due to damaged infrastructure and difficult terrain. Families displaced by the disaster faced immediate humanitarian needs, while overcrowded temporary shelters and limited access to essential services created additional concerns for the health, safety and wellbeing of affected communities, particularly children and other vulnerable groups.
