World Central Kitchen’s restaurant partners are serving meals in Nepal’s Rasuwa and Nuwakot districts–downstream from the country’s border with China–where flash flooding has left more than a hundred people dead and hundreds more missing.

Experts believe an ice-rock avalanche from a glacier blocked the Lhende Khola River, a tributary of the Bhotekoshi, then released a sudden surge downstream — washing away villages and destroying infrastructure. This is the second time the river has flooded in fourteen months.

WCK Relief Team members are en route to the area to support the work of our partners already serving meals.

This is a quickly evolving situation — we’ll share more information as soon as we have it.
