More than four thousand people remain missing after floods in Nepal

CNN Portugal15 September 2026 at 07:54

Devastating floods hit Nepal, leaving more than four thousand people missing. The disaster occurred following torrential rains that caused landslides and flooding in various regions of the country.

Among the missing are two Portuguese citizens. Nepali authorities and Portuguese diplomacy are working to confirm their identities and obtain more information about these two women.

Rescue operations have been hindered by continued bad weather and widespread infrastructure damage. Many communities were left isolated due to blocked roads and destroyed bridges.

Nepal is facing a severe humanitarian crisis, with thousands of people displaced and seeking shelter. The international community has already begun sending humanitarian aid to support relief and recovery efforts in the country.

Why this matters

The direct mention of two Portuguese women among the missing makes this news particularly relevant for readers in Portugal, who may have family members or acquaintances in the affected region. This is one of the worst natural disasters in Nepal in recent years, with significant humanitarian impact.
