Flash floods continue to impact communities and infrastructure in Nepal, with humanitarian operations ongoing.

Key developments

A major flash flood in late August through the Bhote Koshi River caused significant damage in Rasuwa, Nuwakot, and Dhading districts. Affected areas include Timure, Rasuwagadhi, and Syabrubesi, impacting communities, markets, roads, bridges, and hydropower infrastructure. The Government of Nepal has communicated operational arrangements and decisions to guide humanitarian partners in their response.

Key concerns

Humanitarian partners are working to support the flood response operations, requiring coordination for relief cargo clearance and dispatch. Funding for the humanitarian response is substantial but still falls short of total requirements.

Humanitarian impact

The flash floods have resulted in nearly 14,000 internally displaced persons. The damage to infrastructure like roads and bridges likely hinders access to essential services and markets for affected populations.

Information gaps

The specific needs of the internally displaced persons, the extent of damage to homes, and the current health and nutrition status of affected populations are not detailed in the provided reports.
