Countries step up aid after floods in Nepal and China
South Korea, India, China, the United Kingdom and the European Union are stepping up rescue operations and humanitarian aid after devastating floods in Nepal and China. Hundreds of foreign nationals are still considered missing.
International aid
As France 24 reports, countries and the EU are increasing their involvement in efforts aimed at rescuing people and providing humanitarian support after the natural disaster. France 24 published its report on the situation on August 28, 2026.
Rescue and humanitarian operations remain difficult because of the mountainous terrain of the Himalayas. This complicates work in the flood area, where the search for missing foreign nationals continues.

Risk of a new wave of flooding
Authorities also warn of the possibility of a second wave of flooding. The natural disaster has formed a lake that could burst and cause new flooding.
Authorities view a possible breach of the lake as a risk of further developments, rather than as an already realized consequence of the disaster. International efforts combine rescue operations with humanitarian aid amid difficult conditions in the Himalayas.
