A significant number of women and girls are in need of immediate humanitarian assistance due to flooding in Nepal. The affected population includes pregnant women, lactating women, and people with disabilities. Many of these individuals were unable to reach higher ground and were washed away.

Women survivors are facing numerous challenges, including a shortage of food and limited access to safe water. Protection risks are also increasing, and there is a risk that women will be excluded from decision-making processes related to the response and recovery efforts. Further details about the situation and the needs of those affected are available from organizations working on the ground.
