Health providers are delivering medical care to flood-affected populations in Nuwakot district as national priorities shift towards recent heavy rainfall impacts.

Key developments

National disaster management authorities have partially re-prioritized efforts to address the consequences of recent heavy rainfall. Holding centers in Rasuwa, Nuwakot, and Dhading districts are gradually emptying. The Australian government is discussing a recovery and resilience package with Nepal's Foreign Minister.

Key concerns

Access to medical facilities remains challenging for flood-affected communities, leading to medication rationing. Limited visibility on population figures and movements from the Rasuwa Flash Floods response hinders a clear understanding of the situation.

Humanitarian impact

People in Nuwakot district are struggling with the loss of access to essential medical care, with some rationing life-saving medications. Health staff are actively bringing medical support directly to those cut off from facilities.

Information gaps

The specific needs and conditions of the populations leaving holding centers are not detailed in recent reporting.
