Nepal Flood Relief
A glacial collapse in the Himalaya on 26 August 2026 sent flash floods down the Bhote Koshi and Trishuli, destroying settlements, bridges and hydropower plants across seven districts of Nepal. India began airlifting relief the same day and has since delivered relief material, modular steel bridge equipment, a tunnel rescue contingent and forensic teams.
