Today, we were humbled by this message of thanks from our partners in Nepal who have been deeply involved in the relief efforts. Who, despite landslides, heavy rain, blocked roads and overnight journeys, persevered to reach affected families, holding centres and health facilities. They have delivered hundreds of WASH kits, food packages, shelter kits, blankets, mattresses, mosquito nets, solar lights and essential medical and mobility supplies to people impacted by the floods. We are immensely proud and grateful to all our supporters who have donated to the relief work.

Please stop what you are doing and take 10 minutes to watch this powerful, honest video by Hemanta Rai that gives a real sense of the reality on the ground since the floods in Nepal and the incredible challenge of getting relief to the people who need it.

Emergency relief remains critical, but it is vital that is coordinated and strategically managed through local authorities, trusted organisations, and people working directly with affected communities.

All money donated to EMMS International is sent to partners based in Nepal who are part of the relief work and ensuring that support, including health needs are reaching those who need it.

Three weeks since the devastating flash floods swept through villages, destroyed roads and collapsed bridges, our partners in Nepal continue to reach and support people who have been injured, traumatised, and left homeless. Almost 14,000 people have been rescued and over 9,000 have received treatment. The efforts of the rescue and medical teams in Nepal have been incredible, working through the most challenging conditions to reach communities cut off by the floods. Nepal has a long journey ahead in the recovery of this trauma, every donation counts to ensure that support reaches those who need it.

NEPAL EMERGENCY APPEAL
Aid is reaching affected communities despite the rough roads and perilous journey. Teams of medical and non-medical staff—doctors, nurses, counsellors, and administrators - come together to help in a truly holistic way. Even critical supplies like diesel and LP gas have been provided, which has been invaluable. One local doctor expressed sincere thanks: “Please know that by supporting our hospital, you are also supporting the wider community, because we ensure that every resource we receive benefits those we serve. Your timely support has been critical in helping us meet immediate essential needs for both the hospital and the community. In the days ahead, we will remain closely coordinated with you.”

Please give what you can to help ensure medical care and aid reaches those who need it https://www.emms.org/post/emergency-appeal-for-nepal

One week on from the devastating floods, urgent relief is providing a lifeline but the challenging conditions remain for so many. Teams on the ground in Nepal have reported: "Survivors are traumatized. Fear hangs heavy in the air, with families too shaken to come forward for aid, haunted by the thought of being caught in another flood. Their stories are filled with immense loss and the lasting scars of this disaster. There were many children and elderly in hysteria and shock, they could not turn off the sound of the waves in their heads and could not stop repeating what they saw."

Vital medical support is now reaching these communities where it is so vitally needed. Every bit of support is needed and appreciated. Our latest update one week on from the floods provides an overview of the type of relief and care being delivered.

One week on from the flash floods that devastated villages close to the Nepal-China border, aid teams on the ground continue to reach and support survivors. The floods were triggered when a mass of glacial ice and rock detached from the massive Langtang Lirung – A mountain in the Himalayas that st...
