Nepal Floods and Landslides Displace Over 90,000, Red Cross Reports

Floods and landslides in Nepal and Tibet displaced over 90,000 people, with the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) reporting the trauma as 'enormous'. Rescue efforts faced challenges due to the remote Himalayan terrain, and international aid was arriving but coordination was difficult. The epicentre of the disaster was reached 48 hours after the floods began.

The Red Cross reported that at least 93,000 people have been affected by the floods and landslides in Nepal and Tibet. The IFRC head of delegation for Nepal stated that the trauma from the floods is 'enormous'. Multiple sources, including the Star, Straits Times, and Reuters, cited the Red Cross as reporting over 90,000 people affected by the Himalayan landslide. France 24 noted that the Red Cross said around 93,000 people have been affected, while other outlets reported over 90,000 affected. The Red Cross also highlighted that international aid is arriving, but rescue efforts are hampered by the difficulty of coordinating operations in the remote Himalayan terrain. The epicentre of the disaster was only reached 48 hours after the floods began.
