Briefings

Following the Bhotekoshi flash flood in October 2026, a second landslide-induced flood struck Chumnubri in Nuwakot District on October 11, 2026, causing significant damage to homes, infrastructure, and tourism. While the Prime Minister pledged USD 50.47 million in assistance, only USD 24.89 million in aid funds were received, with no formal update on long-term reconstruction plans. The full death toll remains officially unconfirmed, and recovery is uneven due to damaged transport links and a lack of formal implementation plans for rebuilding livelihoods and public services.

Key points

• A second landslide-induced flood struck Chumnubri, Gorkha, on October 11, 2026, just 46 days after the Bhotekoshi flash flood in October 2026, causing significant damage to homes, infrastructure, and tourism in Nuwakot District.
• Nepal received USD 50.47 million in pledged assistance but only USD 24.89 million in aid funds were received, with no formal update on long-term reconstruction plans despite the Prime Minister's acknowledgment of glacial outburst flood risks.

Context and limitations

The full death toll remains officially unconfirmed, and the evidence is limited to reports from October 2026 regarding the second disaster and aid tracking data from October 2026.
