Heavy monsoon rains triggered widespread flooding along Nepal’s Koshi River in 2026, affecting thousands of residents and causing significant damage to infrastructure.
Heavy monsoon rains in early July 2026 caused the Koshi River to overflow, sending floodwaters into low‑lying districts across eastern Nepal.
The deluge displaced more than 30,000 people, many of whom were forced to evacuate their homes and seek shelter in temporary camps.
Infrastructure suffered severe damage: several major bridges were washed away, roads were rendered impassable, and dozens of villages were left isolated.
The Nepalese government mobilised rescue teams and coordinated with international aid agencies to deliver relief supplies and conduct search‑and‑rescue operations.
