EU Sends Additional Aid to Nepal as Floods Cause Severe Humanitarian Conditions
The EU is providing additional aid to Nepal after devastating floods, including a Humanitarian Air Bridge flight carrying 82 tonnes of supplies and €500,000 in funding. This follows €2 million in emergency aid allocated on 28 August and nearly €3 million already allocated for disaster preparedness in 2026. Several countries are sending equipment via the EU Civil Protection Mechanism.
