WFP says Nepal flood relief among its most challenging missions
The World Food Programme says relief operations after Nepal's August 26 floods are among the most difficult it has faced, as more than 6,000 people remain missing and the death toll reaches 1,410.
Weeks after catastrophic floods struck Nepal, authorities are scrambling to mount a relief effort, with more than 6,000 people still missing and the death toll climbing to 1,410.
The head of the World Food Programme in Nepal, Riaz Lodhi, said on September 17, 2026, that the August 26 flash floods and their aftermath were among the 'top three most challenging disasters' the agency had faced. The WFP is a United Nations branch committed to ending hunger and has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize; it provides relief in conflict and disaster zones.
Lodhi cited profound access challenges in the disaster-hit country. The scale of the disaster has made the aid operation especially difficult, the agency's head said.
