Nepal: Floods and Landslides Disrupt Food Access and Income
WHY IT MATTERS
The situation in Nepal highlights the need for continued humanitarian assistance and support to affected households, particularly in the face of high and rising food and fuel prices.
What happened
Flooding and landslides in Nepal have disrupted livelihood activities, destroyed productive assets, and damaged key infrastructure, limiting household income and constraining access to food. The government and humanitarians are providing food and other assistance to flood-affected households.
Food assistance is expected to persist through at least January 2027. High and rising food and fuel prices are straining household purchasing power.
Localized areas are expected to face production shortfalls given flooding and landslides, particularly in the rice harvest.
