Israel Extends Emergency Relief to Flood-Affected Communities in Dhading
Dhading, Nepal: In a gesture of humanitarian solidarity with Nepal during the ongoing flood crisis, the Embassy of Israel in Nepal has provided emergency relief support to flood-affected communities in Dhading.
The first phase of the Embassy’s relief response included the distribution of emergency go-bags and essential supplies to families affected by the recent floods. The relief materials are intended to support communities facing immediate challenges following the disaster.
Deputy Chief of Mission (DCM) Bebar visited the affected area in Dhading and personally handed over the emergency go-bags to local residents. Her visit provided an opportunity for the Embassy team to directly assess the situation on the ground and understand the urgent needs of flood-affected families.
The initiative is being carried out under the leadership of H.E. Shmulik Arie Bass, Ambassador of Israel to Nepal, who has reaffirmed Israel’s solidarity with the people of Nepal during this difficult period.
According to the Embassy, the assistance provided in Dhading represents the first phase of Israel’s emergency relief response to the recent disaster. The Embassy is continuing to assess the situation and coordinate its humanitarian response, with additional assistance expected in the coming days based on the needs of affected communities.
The support comes as several districts across Nepal continue to face the consequences of severe flooding, landslides and damage to infrastructure. Communities have been struggling with displacement, disruption of transportation, loss of property and difficulties accessing essential services.
Israel has a long history of cooperation with Nepal, particularly in areas including emergency medicine, disaster response, search and rescue, agriculture and capacity building. The country’s experience in emergency and disaster management has also been shared with Nepali institutions and professionals over the years.
The Embassy’s decision to take relief assistance directly to an affected community highlights the importance of international solidarity during natural disasters. Beyond immediate material assistance, such engagement can also help strengthen coordination between humanitarian actors and local authorities in identifying urgent needs.
With further assistance being considered, Israel’s response is expected to contribute to Nepal’s broader relief and recovery efforts. The initiative also reflects the longstanding friendship between the peoples of Israel and Nepal, particularly at a time when affected communities are in urgent need of support.
Israel’s emergency assistance to Dhading sends a clear message of solidarity: in times of crisis, international partnership and humanitarian cooperation can make a meaningful difference to communities working to recover from disaster.
