A major flash flood entered Nepal via the Bhote Koshi River on August 26, 2026, severely impacting Rasuwa, Nuwakot, and Dhading districts. The Logistics and Telecommunications Cluster has been active since September 2, supporting humanitarian partners with telecommunications coordination. The confirmed death toll from the floods has reached 1,367, with 5,326 individuals still unaccounted for.

Communities, markets, roads, bridges, and hydropower infrastructure in areas like Timure, Rasuwagadhi, and Syabrubesi are among the worst affected. Funding for the humanitarian response is substantial, but still falls short of the total requirements.

An estimated 352,000 people are affected by the floods, including a significant number of women of reproductive age and pregnant women, with approximately 750 projected to require emergency obstetric care. There are 13,969 internally displaced persons.

Specific details on the current health and nutrition status of affected populations, as well as the extent of damage to educational facilities, are not yet covered in recent reporting.
