UNICEF Highlights Mental Health Needs of Over 17,000 Flood-Affected Children in NepalPreviousNext

UNICEF reports that over 17,000 children affected by Nepal's recent flash floods urgently need mental health and psychosocial support due to trauma, displacement, and loss of family members. The floods, which struck during school hours, caused widespread destruction and left many children fearful and grieving. Additionally, 541 unaccompanied and separated children require protection services. Relief efforts continue amid reports of 1,399 deaths and over 5,000 missing persons, with significant impacts across multiple districts.
