Highlights

Humanity Road volunteers are monitoring the situation in Nepal where a landslide, triggered by continuous monsoon rains, killed more than 30, displaced thousands of families and destroyed dozens of houses. The landslide is blocking the Sunkoshi River, 120km from Kathmandu, forming a lake which is threatening to cause downstream flash floods. Governments in both Nepal and India are evacuating thousands of people along the river embankment. As of August 4th, 30 bodies had been recovered, but the final death toll could be around 165 or higher. This situation report provides an overview of the situation as well as a list of useful sources of information to identify urgent needs.
