Nepal Flood Relief Resources
Yesterday, devastating flash floods and landslides swept through northern Nepal along the Tibet border, causing severe damage to communities, roads, and infrastructure in the Rasuwa and Nuwakot districts.
For Australians looking to help from overseas, providing financial aid to organisations already on the ground is the fastest and most effective way to support rescue and recovery efforts. Whether you prefer to fund localised grassroots initiatives or large-scale humanitarian logistics, here is a list of trusted organisations responding to the crisis right now.

Quick Tip for Aussie Donors
Financial donations are vastly preferred over sending physical goods, which can clog up supply chains in disaster zones. When donating, look for charities registered with the Australian Taxation Office (ATO)—donations over $2 to Australian-registered charities are tax-deductible!
