What were the main damages caused by the floods?

The Nepal floods of 2026 washed over and buried villages, blocked hydroelectric power tunnels, destroyed bridges and roads, and swept away thousands of structures, including roughly 7,500 homes. Nepal and China conducted rescue and recovery operations with limited outside help, primarily relying on their own teams and disaster specialists from India, Australia, and South Korea. Over $820 million was pledged for recovery efforts by international communities and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs).
