In late August 2026, devastating flash floods struck the Bhotekoshi River region of Nepal, claiming 1,453 lives and leaving 5,745 missing as of September 24, 2026, according to Nepal’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The disaster destroyed homes and settlements and caused extensive damage to roads, bridges, vehicles, power infrastructure, and other essential facilities. Search and rescue operations by the Government of Nepal and local authorities are continuing, although damaged roads and difficult terrain have made these efforts challenging. Many affected families urgently need food, safe drinking water, clothing, and shelter.
Immediate Relief
Sri Sathya Sai International Organization (SSSIO) Nepal responded immediately. In coordination with local authorities and partner organizations, a dedicated team of volunteers has been providing food, drinking water, clothing, and other emergency relief materials to those in need. The first phase of this relief program was completed in early September 2026.
