On August 26, 2026, sudden floods affected multiple communities in Nepal, destroying homes, livelihoods, and resulting in fatalities. Local Portes Abertas partners launched an emergency aid distribution that benefited 300 families, with deliveries taking place from September 11 to 13. The items included blankets, electric rice cookers, clothing, towels, undergarments, and food, focusing on needs identified by field teams.
Victim testimonies indicate many lost relatives, properties, and livelihoods, while thousands remain in temporary shelters. Although humanitarian organizations and local authorities provide support, access to mid-term resources remains limited for a large portion of those affected. Reports also note that children, the elderly, and entire families sought shelter in tents.
The Portas Abertas partners emphasized the importance of specific items, such as blankets ahead of winter and electric rice cookers due to gas shortages in the country. A survivor quoted described the usefulness of the items distributed, underscoring that although various organizations offer aid, immediate needs persist, particularly for the education and care of children and the restoration of livelihoods.
