⚠️ A ShelterBox team has arrived in Nepal and is assessing the situation after catastrophic flash floods devastated communities.

A powerful surge of water, mud, ice and debris washed away homes, roads and bridges, leaving communities cut off and families without safe shelter.

More than 1,000 people have died, over 4,200 are missing, and an estimated 65,000 people have been affected.

Our team is meeting with Rotary International members and other humanitarian organisations to understand what might be needed and how we can best support affected communities.

We are also speaking to potential partners to understand how we could work together to address immediate needs and are considering essential aid items like blankets, sleeping mats, tarpaulin and ropes.

As assessments continue, we'll keep you updated on how ShelterBox can help families recover and rebuild.

Thank you for your generosity so far. Please, if you can, donate today to help families in Nepal 💚👉 bit.ly/4yaDtEj
