Nepal Issues Disaster Relief Appeal as Floods and Landslides Kill 193

Nepal's government issued a formal Disaster Relief Appeal on August 31, 2026, after floods and landslides killed 193 people with 31 still missing. The Bhote Koshi River flood in Rasuwa District, near the China border, compounded a monsoon season that logged 51 incidents in a single 24-hour period. The appeal indicates the toll has exceeded routine emergency capacity.
