Recent Updates September 9, 2026 9:05 AM Share Amazon expands relief efforts in Nepal as search and rescue continues after devastating floods and landslides Photo by REACT Communities across Nepal remain isolated and in urgent need of humanitarian relief after flash floods and glacial landslides took more than 1,300 lives and devastated villages in the Rasuwa, Nuwakot, and Dhading districts.
More than 5,000 people remain missing and at least 93,000 people have been impacted, according to the Nepal Red Cross Society.
As rescue operations continue in hard-to-reach locations, Amazon is making additional cash donations to nonprofits doing lifesaving work in the country and preparing emergency supplies for delivery at no cost to first responders at the center of relief efforts.
“The scale of this disaster has left many families grieving, displaced, and uncertain about what comes next," said Helene Fors, IOM Chief of Mission in Nepal. "Amazon's support comes at a critical moment, allowing us to provide assistance where it is most needed.
We are grateful for Amazon's partnership and solidarity with the people of Nepal as communities begin the difficult process of recovery."
Cash donations to nonprofit partners in Nepal Photo by REACT Amazon's support has expanded to include additional cash donations to seven nonprofits, including: All Hands & Hearts Group for Technical Assistance IOM One Heart Worldwide REACT Disaster Response Save the Children International World Food Programme The cash donations support a wide range of work.
All Hands & Hearts is cleaning up and restoring 20 schools in the Nuwakot district so children can return to a degree of normalcy, while REACT is delivering generators, hygiene kits, and mosquito repellent via helicopter from Kathmandu to flood-affected communities.
Save the Children is setting up mobile toilets and hand-washing supplies for families who lost their homes to the floods, Group for Technical Assistance is providing shelter and bedding, kitchen and household items, food, hygiene materials, and essential medicines, and One Heart Worldwide is using the funds to provide emergency relief to families with pregnant women, new mothers, and babies.
Photo by REACT "When people in Briddhim told our responders their most urgent need was power, we had generators on the ground within 48 hours. That kind of speed only works when partners can move as fast as we do.
Amazon's rapid support means we can keep our volunteer responders working in Nepal and keep reaching the communities cut off by the floods,” said REACT’s CEO Toby Wicks.
Delivering emergency supplies In addition to cash donations to support organizations at the center of the response, Amazon is preparing to donate and deliver emergency supplies to multiple organizations at no cost.
More than 43,000 supplies, including tents, blankets, and solar lights, are being readied for delivery in partnership with All Hands & Hearts, IFRC, Nepal Red Cross Society, IOM, and ShelterBox USA. We're also providing support to multiple communities impacted by flooding in India.
