Celebrities have collectively contributed up to Dh265,000 to aid victims of recent floods in Nepal, according to Khaleej Times.
Heavy monsoon rains have triggered severe flooding across several districts of Nepal, displacing thousands and damaging homes and infrastructure. In response, a group of well‑known personalities from the entertainment and sports sectors have come together to raise funds for relief operations.
According to a report by Khaleej Times, the combined contributions from these celebrities total up to Dh265,000 (approximately 72,000 Nepalese rupees). The money is earmarked for emergency supplies, temporary shelters and medical assistance for the affected communities.
Organisers of the fundraising drive have urged the public to add to the pool, emphasizing that swift financial support can accelerate the distribution of essential aid. The initiative reflects a growing trend of public figures using their platforms to mobilise resources for disaster‑stricken regions beyond India’s borders.
The Nepalese government and international NGOs are currently coordinating relief efforts, and the celebrity donations are expected to complement these larger operations, helping to bridge immediate gaps in assistance.
