Flash floods tore through Nepal on August 26, 2026, near the China-Nepal border, prompting Development and Peace – Caritas Canada to call on Canadians for urgent support.

The floods caused extensive damage across several regions of the country, washing out roads and destroying countless homes. Thousands of people have been affected, and many families remain without shelter as rescue and relief operations continue.

A trusted partner of Development and Peace – Caritas Canada, Caritas Nepal has already deployed teams to the affected areas. Working alongside local authorities, it is taking part in rescue operations and delivering food and emergency supplies to displaced families.
