Once the immediate aftermath of major disasters has passed, they fade from the headlines, but the problems will persist for a long time in the affected areas…
It has been almost a month since the 2026 flash flood in Nepal, which occurred on the Trishuli River and affected dozens of settlements in the districts of Rasuwa and Nuwakot on the morning of Wednesday 26 August 2026. The flood also affected the area around Gyirong Port, on the border between China and Nepal.
It is estimated that the flood affected some 84,000 people, causing 1,410 deaths and leaving 6,100 people missing, according to figures from Nepal’s National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority (NDRRMA). A large number of roads, bridges, health centres and schools have suffered extensive damage.
Here at Jannu Ferides, working in close collaboration with our Nepali sister NGO Nyano Angalo, we are raising funds to help rebuild primary healthcare facilities, following an on-the-ground assessment of the most pressing needs by providing specific medical equipment.
