Cameroon |
The Far Nord region of Cameroun has experienced population movement since 2006 with the crisis in Chad and now with the political instability from the North East of Nigeria. Substantial assistance has been provided to refugees during the last few years and this situation has increased the operational capacities of different local and international NGOs, the UN agencies and the Cameroun RC in this region too.
From July 2014, a large number of Nigerian refugees have been crossing the border into Cameroun, fleeing the conflict: about 35,000 refugees have been registered by UNHCR. About 30,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs) have also been reported, following clashes at the border where some villages and towns have been attacked. |

Flood,Nepal: GDACS - Medium humanitarian impact in for Nepal.Disaster authorities in Nepal reported severe flooding in areas of Bagmati Province in late August 2026. Local media in China also reported incidents in Gyirong County, Shigatse, Tibet Autonomous Region.
Nepal's National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority (NDRRMA) said preliminary analysis of satellite images showed that an ice-and-rock landslide about 20 km northeast of the Rasuwagadhi border crossing caused a debris-laden flood in the Lhende River. Nepal's Department of Hydrology and Meteorology (DHM) said satellite images showed that debris had blocked the river, forming a temporary lake which later burst. The resulting flood travelled downstream through the Bhote Koshi and Trishuli rivers. DHM also reported that there had been no heavy rainfall in the area before the flood. The assessments remain preliminary.
A similar event occurred in this area on 08 July 2025.
