With loved ones missing, homes submerged, and high waters blocking off remote areas — families in Nepal are in need of hope after the flash floods and landslides of August 26.

More than 500 people have died. At least 1,300 are missing — including travelers from more than 30 countries around the world. Search-and-rescue efforts continue on the ground and in the air.

The U.S. Geological Survey attributed the devastating floods and landslides to a glacial collapse and debris flow that caused subsequent catastrophic impacts downstream.

The disaster hit during Nepal’s active monsoon season. Additional storms forecast for the upcoming days could further destabilize the soil. A lake of rising water has formed, prompting fears of more flooding if it bursts its banks.

Convoy of Hope is bringing life-giving food kits to families, along with fortified milk to help sustain children.

Despite power outages and almost impassable roadways, we are working on the ground to deliver necessities to survivors.

As survivors confront the uncertainties of the days ahead, we will bring tangible care and encouragement.
