Background
In the early hours of Wednesday 26 August, a surge of water, ice and debris tore down the Bhote Koshi and Trishuli rivers in northern Nepal. Rasuwa district has been hit hardest, with the damage reaching downstream into Nuwakot, Dhading and neighbouring areas.
Homes, roads, bridges, hydropower stations and power lines have been destroyed, and damaged transport links are making it hard to reach the worst-affected communities. As search and rescue continues, the need is shifting quickly to emergency shelter, safe water, sanitation and protection, with a growing risk of waterborne disease.
