How is Tearfund responding

Tearfund supports a number of long-term local partners in Nepal. These partners have faithfully served communities for decades, including through previous disaster situations such as the 2015 earthquakes. These partners know the impacted region and communities very well, and are assessing the situation and developing a response plan to ensure we can support affected communities in the most effective way possible.

We know that impacted communities are already vulnerable to poverty and an event like this can further increase the risks they face. Your support is vital to reach those who need it most.

More information on the situation in Nepal

A major flash flood struck the Bhote Koshi River Basin in the Nepal–Tibet border region at about 9am (local time) on 26 August 2026.
The flooding has significantly damaged homes, markets, schools, transport infrastructure and hydropower projects.
Some indications suggest that this event could be the worst flooding disaster in the country since the 1990s. Humanitarian needs are significant.
The worst-affected areas include Rasuwa, Nuwakot, Dhading and surrounding districts along the Bhote Koshi and Trishuli river systems.
The death toll continues to climb and hundreds of people from around the world have been reported missing.
The government has requested urgent support from local organisations in essential relief items, food and shelter.
Tearfund’s partners are coordinating with local authorities and other organisations to prepare responses.

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.
