What is happening in Nepal? Donations can be made through Shelter Box
On 26 August, a major flash flood struck Nepal, near the border with Tibet. Homes, roads, bridges and buildings were swept away, while power and communications infrastructure suffered significant damage. Communities across the mountainous region have been cut off, making rescue efforts and access to support more difficult.
