Flash flood
Northern Nepal was hit by a massive flash flood. Masses of water surged down through valleys lined with villages and towns, sweeping away everything in its path. Entire residential areas were flattened, bridges snapped like twigs, and roads were swallowed up. There are thousands of dead and missing, as well as many injured. There is extensive damage and a shortage of everything.

Drastic consequences
Our partner ACN in Nepal is deeply shocked by the situation. Its director, Raju Adhikari, says: “The devastating flash floods have caused immense damage and claimed many lives, leaving survivors in desperate and life-threatening circumstances. It’s terrible!” His appeal is: “Your generous support can provide urgent aid, restore hope and help bereaved families rebuild their lives with dignity and safety.”
Food and emergency aid
ACN wants to offer help now that the need is so great: providing food, medicines, tents and clean drinking water. In this way, they bring hope where despair reigns. But longer-term assistance is also needed to help the area recover. Will you join us in helping?
Your support
Please join us in praying for those affected and the aid workers. Donations can be transferred to IBAN NL25 INGB 0112 9022 35, payable to ‘Landelijk kerkelijk bureau CGK diaconaat’, quoting ‘emergency aid Nepal’; or, if your parish is organising a fundraising campaign for this emergency relief, to the diaconate’s account number. Thank you very much!
