What is happening in Nepal?

On 26 August, a major flash flood struck Nepal's Rasuwa District severely affecting Syapru Besi and Timure near the Tibet border.

Right now, 1114 deaths have been recorded, 3,916 people are missing and thousands have been forced from their homes.

Entire villages have been washed away with significant damage to settlements, roads, bridges, market areas and critical infrastructure.

A secondary flood wave struck Nepal on 30 August, compounding the devastation. The fresh surge forced the complete closure of the vital Prithvi Highway after a major section at Krishnabhir collapsed due to severe landslide, cutting off the main road link to Kathmandu.

Oxfam is working closely with the Government and local partners to assess what people urgently need.

With your support, we can provide clean water, sanitation and hygiene, cash assistance and essential items in the aftermath of disaster.

Please donate to the Nepal Flash Flood Emergency Response today.

FROM THE FIELD

“Entire neighbourhoods are under mud and rescue teams are still digging. The water rose nine metres in half an hour. What we are seeing so far is only what we can reach…"

— Santosh Pandey, Oxfam Humanitarian Lead in Nepal

"The rivers are full of debris and sewage, and there is no piped supply left to fall back on. Getting clean water and safe sanitation to most affected people into these valleys is the priority now.”

— Santosh Pandey, Oxfam Humanitarian Lead in Nepal

Scaling up our response

Oxfam, working with its partners and in close coordination with local authorities, is immediately supplying emergency hygiene kits, water purification solutions, food items and emergency shelter across hundreds of households in the hardest-hit districts of Dhading, Rasuwa and Nuwakot.

The Government of Nepal estimates that 10,000 households — nearly 50,000 people — require emergency hygiene support and water purification, in addition to 3,130 dignity kits and nearly 4,000 baby kits for children under five.

As the scale of the disaster unfolds, more families will urgently need emergency supplies including clean water, shelter, and sanitation.

Please donate today to help scale up our response.
