GoKawiilNepal's flood disaster tests UN Loss and Damage Fund's response speed
A glacial-lake collapse triggered flash floods in Nepal's Rasuwa region on 26 August, killing more than 1,400 people and leaving about 6,000 missing, with reconstruction estimated at nearly $5 billion. Nepal formally requested emergency support from the UN's Fund for responding to Loss and Damage five days later, but a month on, no funding arrangement has been finalized beyond an acknowledgment promising urgent consideration.
