Nepal Floods Emergency Appeal

Devastating flash floods have swept through communities in Nepal, destroying homes, roads, bridges and livelihoods. Thousands of people are still missing.

The floods struck on 26 August 2026 after a sudden surge of water entered Nepal through the Bhote Koshi River from Tibet. Some of the worst-affected areas include Rasuwa, Nuwakot, Dhading and surrounding communities. Remote villages have been particularly difficult to reach because roads and bridges have been damaged or washed away.

The latest Government of Nepal update reports:

• 1,377 Bodies Recovered
• 5,130 People still missing
• 13,656 people rescued
• Thousands of people displaced and in need of emergency support

Government of Nepal figures, 10 September 2026. These figures continue to change as search, rescue and verification efforts continue.

For people who have lost their homes and belongings, the emergency does not end when the floodwater goes down. They still need food, hygiene essentials, school supplies and basic household items.

A disaster of this scale has affected thousands of people, including families who have lost their homes, belongings and livelihoods.

Blackburn UK Trust is raising funds to support vulnerable people and families affected by the Nepal floods through our local response partner, Samaj Bikash Samiti.

A donation of £50 can provide a complete emergency survival kit for one family, including essential food, hygiene items and basic school supplies.

These essentials can help a family put food on the table, maintain basic hygiene and give their children the supplies they need for school.

Your support can help people face the days ahead with food, dignity and hope.

Every donation can help us reach more families affected by this disaster.

The floods have caused widespread destruction across northern Nepal. Homes have been buried or swept away, roads and bridges have been damaged, and some communities remain difficult to reach.

Aid organisations responding to the emergency report that thousands of families remain displaced, while homes in affected areas are still covered in mud and silt.

For people still waiting for help, essential supplies cannot wait. 

For a family who has lost everything, £50 can provide essential support when they need it most.

Your donation can help put food on the table, provide essential hygiene items and give children the school supplies they need.

Together, we can help people and families in Nepal through this emergency.
