From 27 August 2026 all donations to the Global Emergency Fund will support our response to the Nepal Flash Floods. Your donation enables Red Cross to provide life-saving assistance and help people recover safely and with dignity.
Reports indicate that at least 160 people have lost lives, while hundreds remain missing including Australians, as the full scale of the disaster continues to emerge.
Nepal Red Cross Society has mobilised Emergency Response Teams and volunteers to support emergency assessments and relief operations. Additional teams are being deployed to assist local branches with limited response capacity due to the disaster.
Emergency assistance is already underway. To date, Nepal Red Cross Society has dispatched tarpaulins, blankets, sleeping mats and body bags, alongside first aid kits, stretchers and drinking water supplies where access permits. Immediate priorities include providing emergency shelter, safe drinking water, basic relief items, first aid and health support, and reaching isolated communities cut off by the floods. Government authorities, emergency services, medical teams and Nepal Red Cross Society are supporting ongoing search, rescue and response efforts.
