What happened
On August 28, 2026, Ottawa announced a $5 million humanitarian package for the flash floods and landslides that struck the Nepal‑China border. The funds will finance emergency food, shelter, water, sanitation and health services delivered through the UN, Red Cross and Canadian NGOs.
Global Affairs Canada has deployed five consular officials to Kathmandu to assist Canadians and coordinate with local authorities. The Canadian Red Cross offers to ship relief supplies from its emergency stockpiles if requested.
