Nepalese authorities expressed satisfaction with the financial support offered by the international community to address the emergency situation in the country. Nepal's Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that it does not need humanitarian assistance in kind, indicating that financial aid is the preferred form of contribution.

The Nepalese government indicated that the immediate priority is focused on search and rescue operations. This declaration indicates that authorities are channeling all efforts to locate and rescue victims of the emergency that struck the country.

The article does not specify what type of disaster hit Nepal, but the need for search and rescue operations suggests a sudden and devastating event, such as an earthquake or flood. The decision to prioritize financial donations instead of sending material goods may be related to the urgency of the situation and the need for rapidly deployable resources.
