Nepal Deploys Mental Health Support Amid Deadliest Floods' Aftermath
Nepal's deadliest floods in a decade have caused widespread destruction and a growing mental health crisis, particularly affecting children and displaced families. With over 900 dead and nearly 4,000 missing, the government has deployed around 50 mental health professionals in the hardest-hit districts of Rasuwa and Nuwakot, with additional counsellors on standby in Bagmati Province. Psychological First Aid is being provided as part of a coordinated response involving government agencies and NGOs to address trauma and anxiety among survivors.
