A major flash flood struck Rasuwa district after a sudden and intense surge in the Bhote Koshi River at approximately 9:15 AM. The flood rapidly impacted the Timure, Rasuwagadhi, and Syabrubesi areas, causing significant damage to settlements, markets, police infrastructure, roads, and hydropower facilities. Authorities have warned that rising water levels could affect downstream communities along the Trishuli River corridor.
\r\nCurrent Situation
\r\nThe flood is suspected to have originated from a high-altitude outburst upstream in Tibet, though the exact cause remains under investigation.
\r\nWater levels reportedly rose dramatically, with flood waves estimated at 8-10 meters in some locations.
\r\nAuthorities have reported severe initial damage in:
\r\nTimure Market
\r\nTimure Customs Office
\r\nRasuwagadhi area
\r\nSyabrubesi settlement
\r\nMultiple hydropower projects, including damage to the Chilime Hydropower Project
\r\nThree Nepal Police facilities: Timure Area Police Office, Rasuwagadhi Police Post, and Syabrubesi Police Post
\r\nInitial reports indicate that 30-40 drivers may be missing, although verification is ongoing. Extent of causaulities and missing persons remain unclear.
\r\nAreas at Risk
\r\nHigh-alert warnings have been issued for communities located along the Bhote Koshi and Trishuli rivers, particularly in: Rasuwa, Nuwakot, Dhading, Gorkha, Chitwan.
\r\nResidents living along riverbanks have been advised to move to safer locations and remain vigilant until further notice.
\r\nTransport and Access
\r\nTravel has been discouraged on: Prithvi Highway, Galchhi-Nuwakot-Rasuwa-Syabrubesi Road, Muglin-Narayangadh Road, Kathmandu Valley Traffic Police have reportedly halted vehicles heading toward Rasuwa and other affected districts.
\r\nPeople working, fishing, or conducting activities near the Trishuli River have been ordered to leave the river corridor immediately. Initial data are not available due to communication cut off in affected areas, will be updated in next field report.
\r\nAccording to information from the Colombian Geological Service (SGC), an earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 7.4 was recorded on Monday, August 10, 2026, in the morning, with its epicenter in the town of San José del Palmar, in the department of Chocó, located on the Colombian Pacific coast, at a depth of 96 kilometers.
\r\nAlthough the epicenter was in the department of Chocó, direct impacts were also felt in the departments of Caldas, Risaralda, and Valle del Cauca. Media reports are already noting injuries, deaths, and missing persons, as well as the collapse of infrastructure.

On 15th May, the Institut national de recherche biomédicale (INRB) Kinshasa confirmed an outbreak of the Ebola virus in Ituri province, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The virus is reported to have originated from Mongbwalu, Bunia and Rwapara Health zones in Ituri province. The virus is confirmed to be the Bundibugyo Virus Disease (BVD), a severe and often fatal strain.
\r\nAs of 19 May, more than 500 suspected cases, including 130 suspected deaths, have been reported by the Ministry of Health. So far, 30 cases have been confirmed in the DRC. The World Health Organization (WHO) declared the outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC), due to the risk of further regional spread within the region, including across borders.
\r\nUnlike previous outbreaks caused by the Zaire strain, this Bundibugyo strain does not currently have a licensed vaccine or specific targeted treatment. This makes community-based measures, early detection, supportive healthcare, and prevention efforts more critical than ever.
\r\nThe outbreak appears to have circulated for several weeks (with the first known case dated 24 April 2026) prior to confirmation as Ebola. Early presentation of cases with non-specific febrile symptoms, common to endemic diseases such as malaria, combined with initial laboratory testing focused on the more common Zaire strain, contributed to delays in identification. As a result, transmission occurred in both community and healthcare settings before targeted control measures were fully implemented.\r\nAlongside multiple existing health risks in eastern DRC, gaps in health practices may contribute to ongoing transmission of the Bundibugyo strain among communities and healthcare settings. Infection prevention and control (IPC) measures are not consistently applied, increasing the risk of transmission among health workers. The absence of an approved vaccine or specific treatment further emphasizes reliance on core public health measures, including early detection, isolation, contact tracing, and supportive care, which require sustained operational capacity and resources.
\r\nThe outbreak comes just months after the DRC’s 16th Ebola outbreak in Kasai Province, which was declared over in December 2025.

On 24 June 2026, two strong earthquakes, preliminarily measured at magnitudes 7.1 and 7.5, struck north-central Venezuela in rapid succession, with epicentres near Morón, Carabobo State. The earthquakes were felt across much of the country, including Caracas, La Guaira, Aragua, Carabobo and neighbouring states. Therefore, the national goverment of Venezuela declared the state of emergency.
\r\nPreliminary information indicates damage to residential and commercial buildings, with reports of structural collapses in parts of Caracas and damage to infrastructure in several affected areas. Search and rescue operations have been activated while authorities continue rapid damage assessments. Power and telecommunications interruptions have been reported in some locations, and hospitals are receiving injured people.
\r\nThe full humanitarian impact is still being assessed. Official information on casualties, displaced people and infrastructure damage remains limited. Significant aftershocks are expected, posing additional risks to affected communities and emergency responders. In addition, the National Headquarters of the Venezuelan Red Cross reported critical damage in the infrastructure.
\r\nCritical damage has also been reported to essential social infrastructure, including the airport and hospitals, while public services are intermittent or completely disrupted.

The virus is reported to have originated from Mongbwalu, Bunia and Rwapara Health zones in Ituri province. The virus is confirmed to be the Bundibugyo Virus Disease (BVD), a severe and often fatal strain.
\r\nAs of 19 May, more than 500 suspected cases, including 130 suspected deaths, have been reported by the Ministry of Health. So far, 30 cases have been confirmed in the DRC. The World Health Organization (WHO) declared the outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC), due to the risk of further regional spread within the region, including across borders.
\r\nUnlike previous outbreaks caused by the Zaire strain, this Bundibugyo strain does not currently have a licensed vaccine or specific targeted treatment. This makes community-based measures, early detection, supportive healthcare, and prevention efforts more critical than ever.
\r\nThe outbreak appears to have circulated for several weeks (with the first known case dated 24 April 2026) prior to confirmation as Ebola. Early presentation of cases with non-specific febrile symptoms, common to endemic diseases such as malaria, combined with initial laboratory testing focused on the more common Zaire strain, contributed to delays in identification. As a result, transmission occurred in both community and healthcare settings before targeted control measures were fully implemented.\r\nAlongside multiple existing health risks in eastern DRC, gaps in health practices may contribute to ongoing transmission of the Bundibugyo strain among communities and healthcare settings. Infection prevention and control (IPC) measures are not consistently applied, increasing the risk of transmission among health workers. The absence of an approved vaccine or specific treatment further emphasizes reliance on core public health measures, including early detection, isolation, contact tracing, and supportive care, which require sustained operational capacity and resources.
\r\nThe outbreak comes just months after the DRC’s 16th Ebola outbreak in Kasai Province, which was declared over in December 2025.

On 24 June 2026, two strong earthquakes, preliminarily measured at magnitudes 7.1 and 7.5, struck north-central Venezuela in rapid succession, with epicentres near Morón, Carabobo State. The earthquakes were felt across much of the country, including Caracas, La Guaira, Aragua, Carabobo and neighbouring states. Therefore, the national goverment of Venezuela declared the state of emergency.
\r\nPreliminary information indicates damage to residential and commercial buildings, with reports of structural collapses in parts of Caracas and damage to infrastructure in several affected areas. Search and rescue operations have been activated while authorities continue rapid damage assessments. Power and telecommunications interruptions have been reported in some locations, and hospitals are receiving injured people.
\r\nThe full humanitarian impact is still being assessed. Official information on casualties, displaced people and infrastructure damage remains limited. Significant aftershocks are expected, posing additional risks to affected communities and emergency responders.

During the afternoon of Sunday, August 16, 2026, the National Civil Protection System (SINAPROC) declared a Green Alert for rain, storms and gusts of wind, starting at 6:00 p.m., for sectors of the province of Bocas del Toro, the Ngäbe-Buglé Region and the Naso Tjër Di Region.
\nThe measure is based on the technical-scientific analysis of the Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology of Panama (IMHPA), which maintains a favorable scenario for rains of varying intensity, some accompanied by thunderstorms and gusts of wind.
\nThe expected conditions could generate rapid increases in the flows of rivers and streams, floods in vulnerable sectors and landslides, so the need for permanent surveillance and monitoring of conditions in the territory remains.
\nIn addition, the Ministry of Education reported the suspension of classes for Monday, August 17, 2026 throughout the province of Bocas del Toro, as a preventive measure in the face of weather conditions and the intense rains recorded.
\nLikewise, the suspension of classes in 172 educational centers in the Nö Kribo region, corresponding to school zones No. 1 to No. 18 of the Ngäbe-Buglé region, was reported.
\nAccording to the official information available, a scenario of rainfall of varying intensity is maintained, with the possibility of:
\nThe combination of persistent rainfall, soil saturation and increased flows increases the possibility of localized damage, particularly in communities near rivers and streams, low-lying areas, areas with a history of flooding and sectors susceptible to mass movements.
\nBocas del Toro Province:
\nNgäbe-Buglé Region:
\nNaso Tjër Di Region.
\nAs a preventive measure, the Ministry of Education determined:
\nThe decision seeks to reduce the exposure of students, teachers and administrative staff to possible mobility difficulties and unsafe conditions derived from intense rains, flooding of rivers and streams, soil saturation, high tides and strong winds.
\nIn the operational sphere, the Changuinola Committee of the Panamanian Red Cross maintains presence and support in the evacuation actions of the communities of Puente Blanco, accompanying the processes of preventive mobilization of the population in the face of the existing conditions.
\nLikewise, the Changuinola Committee maintains a presence in the Provincial Emergency Operations Center (COE) of Bocas del Toro, participating in the spaces for coordination and monitoring of the situation, in coordination with the institutions that make up the response system.
\nConditions are reported that have required preventive evacuation actions in vulnerable sectors, particularly in the communities of Puente Blanco, where the Changuinola Committee continues to support the evacuation work.
\nAt the time of the cut-off of this report, there is still no updated quantitative consolidation of evacuees, affected homes, isolated communities, damage to infrastructure, displacement or humanitarian needs.
\nThe available information continues to be verified and consolidated through territorial monitoring and coordination with the actors present in the area.
\nIt is recommended that subsequent reports make it possible to differentiate between:
\nSince the afternoon of August 16, Risk Management has maintained communication and monitoring of possible effects, following up on the evolution of weather conditions and the information generated from the territories.
\nThe Changuinola Committee maintains an operational presence in the Provincial COE of Bocas del Toro, strengthening institutional coordination, the exchange of information and the monitoring of the actions developed in the face of the situation.
\nSimilarly, the Committee maintains support in the territory for evacuation actions in the communities of Puente Blanco, prioritizing the safety of exposed persons and facilitating coordination with the authorities and other actors involved in the process.
\nIt is recommended to maintain permanent communication with local committees and territorial liaisons to facilitate the timely flow of information to the corresponding coordination levels.
\nThe priority during this period should focus on identifying in a timely manner any change in risk conditions, especially in the face of increases in flows, floods, landslides, road interruptions and effects on vulnerable communities.

The virus is reported to have originated from Mongbwalu, Bunia and Rwapara Health zones in Ituri province. The virus is confirmed to be the Bundibugyo Virus Disease (BVD), a severe and often fatal strain.
\r\nAs of 19 May, more than 500 suspected cases, including 130 suspected deaths, have been reported by the Ministry of Health. So far, 30 cases have been confirmed in the DRC. The World Health Organization (WHO) declared the outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC), due to the risk of further regional spread within the region, including across borders.
\r\nUnlike previous outbreaks caused by the Zaire strain, this Bundibugyo strain does not currently have a licensed vaccine or specific targeted treatment. This makes community-based measures, early detection, supportive healthcare, and prevention efforts more critical than ever.
\r\nThe outbreak appears to have circulated for several weeks (with the first known case dated 24 April 2026) prior to confirmation as Ebola. Early presentation of cases with non-specific febrile symptoms, common to endemic diseases such as malaria, combined with initial laboratory testing focused on the more common Zaire strain, contributed to delays in identification. As a result, transmission occurred in both community and healthcare settings before targeted control measures were fully implemented.\r\nAlongside multiple existing health risks in eastern DRC, gaps in health practices may contribute to ongoing transmission of the Bundibugyo strain among communities and healthcare settings. Infection prevention and control (IPC) measures are not consistently applied, increasing the risk of transmission among health workers. The absence of an approved vaccine or specific treatment further emphasizes reliance on core public health measures, including early detection, isolation, contact tracing, and supportive care, which require sustained operational capacity and resources.
\r\nThe outbreak comes just months after the DRC’s 16th Ebola outbreak in Kasai Province, which was declared over in December 2025.

A major flash flood struck Rasuwa district after a sudden and intense surge in the Bhote Koshi River at approximately 9:15 AM. The flood rapidly impacted the Timure, Rasuwagadhi, and Syabrubesi areas, causing significant damage to settlements, markets, police infrastructure, roads, and hydropower facilities. Authorities have warned that rising water levels could affect downstream communities along the Trishuli River corridor.
\r\nCurrent Situation
\r\nThe flood is suspected to have originated from a high-altitude outburst upstream in Tibet, though the exact cause remains under investigation.
\r\nWater levels reportedly rose dramatically, with flood waves estimated at 8-10 meters in some locations.
\r\nAuthorities have reported severe initial damage in:
\r\nTimure Market
\r\nTimure Customs Office
\r\nRasuwagadhi area
\r\nSyabrubesi settlement
\r\nMultiple hydropower projects, including damage to the Chilime Hydropower Project
\r\nThree Nepal Police facilities: Timure Area Police Office, Rasuwagadhi Police Post, and Syabrubesi Police Post
\r\nInitial reports indicate that 30-40 drivers may be missing, although verification is ongoing. Extent of causaulities and missing persons remain unclear.
\r\nAreas at Risk
\r\nHigh-alert warnings have been issued for communities located along the Bhote Koshi and Trishuli rivers, particularly in: Rasuwa, Nuwakot, Dhading, Gorkha, Chitwan.

\r\nOn 15th May, the Institut national de recherche biomédicale (INRB) Kinshasa confirmed an outbreak of the Ebola virus in Ituri province, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The virus is reported to have originated from Mongbwalu, Bunia and Rwapara Health zones in Ituri province. The virus is confirmed to be the Bundibugyo Virus Disease (BVD), a severe and often fatal strain.
\r\nAs of 19 May, more than 500 suspected cases, including 130 suspected deaths, have been reported by the Ministry of Health. So far, 30 cases have been confirmed in the DRC. The World Health Organization (WHO) declared the outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC), due to the risk of further regional spread within the region, including across borders.
\r\nUnlike previous outbreaks caused by the Zaire strain, this Bundibugyo strain does not currently have a licensed vaccine or specific targeted treatment. This makes community-based measures, early detection, supportive healthcare, and prevention efforts more critical than ever.
\r\nThe outbreak appears to have circulated for several weeks (with the first known case dated 24 April 2026) prior to confirmation as Ebola. Early presentation of cases with non-specific febrile symptoms, common to endemic diseases such as malaria, combined with initial laboratory testing focused on the more common Zaire strain, contributed to delays in identification. As a result, transmission occurred in both community and healthcare settings before targeted control measures were fully implemented.\r\nAlongside multiple existing health risks in eastern DRC, gaps in health practices may contribute to ongoing transmission of the Bundibugyo strain among communities and healthcare settings. Infection prevention and control (IPC) measures are not consistently applied, increasing the risk of transmission among health workers. The absence of an approved vaccine or specific treatment further emphasizes reliance on core public health measures, including early detection, isolation, contact tracing, and supportive care, which require sustained operational capacity and resources.

\r\nThe outbreak comes just months after the DRC’s 16th Ebola outbreak in Kasai Province, which was declared over in December 2025.On 15th May, the Institut national de recherche biomédicale (INRB) Kinshasa confirmed an outbreak of the Ebola virus in Ituri province, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

The virus is confirmed to be the Bundibugyo Virus Disease (BVD), a severe and often fatal strain.
\r\nAs of 19 May, more than 500 suspected cases, including 130 suspected deaths, have been reported by the Ministry of Health. So far, 30 cases have been confirmed in the DRC. The World Health Organization (WHO) declared the outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC), due to the risk of further regional spread within the region, including across borders.

\r\nThe outbreak comes just months after the DRC’s 16th Ebola outbreak in Kasai Province, which was declared over in December 2025.The wave of fires in the Republic of Tunisia began on 1 June 2026, but reached a sharp peak from 12 July 2026 onward, continuing to the time of writing, coinciding with an exceptional heatwave in which temperatures reached close to 50°C in several governorates — including Kairouan, Jendouba, Gabès, Tozeur and Béja — while temperatures in the south-west reached around 49°C due to the hot, dry \"Chehili\" desert winds, according to the National Institute of Meteorology. The heatwave has been accompanied by strong winds and severe drought, triggering a wide series of forest and agricultural land fires, particularly in the mountainous and forested areas of the north and north-west of the country.
\r\nAccording to the latest official update, the total forest and agricultural area damaged by fire since the outbreak began has risen to around 12,000 hectares — a marked increase compared to earlier estimates of only 4,400 hectares as of 23 July 2026 (compared to 2,705 hectares over the same period in 2025) — reflecting the continued spread and intensification of the fires alongside the ongoing heatwave. Civil Protection also reported more than 35 forest fires between 1 June and 25 July 2026, while statistics show that forest areas damaged by fire over the past ten years totalled around 70,000 hectares (an annual average of about 7,000 hectares), underscoring the severity of the current season compared to the historical average. The Director General of Forests, Mohamed Naoufel Ben Haha, confirmed that the fires mainly affected cork-oak and Aleppo pine forests of significant social and economic importance to local forest communities, and that the situation in Le Kef governorate still requires continuous field vigilance.
\r\nAmong the most significant fires recorded, by way of illustration and not an exhaustive list: the Ghar El Melh and Rafraf fire in Bizerte governorate (around 300 hectares); the Cap Negro fire in the Nefza delegation of Béja governorate (around 300 hectares); the Saqiyat Sidi Youssef fire in Le Kef governorate, which burned around 2,000 hectares and whose effects are still being dealt with; a fire in the Zaghouan mountains (Jebel Chahma area) affecting around 1,300 hectares of forest and farmland; along with scattered fires in Jendouba (Ain Draham), Nabeul (Rafraf, Jebel Nadhour), Siliana, Sfax, Gafsa, Kebili, Mahdia, Tozeur, Kasserine, Sidi Bouzid, Manouba and Tunis. Given the continued evolution of the fires and their expanding geographic scope, a detailed, reliable breakdown of the areas damaged by governorate is no longer available at this stage; the adopted cumulative figure remains 12,000 hectares to date, and the detailed regional breakdown will be updated later in coordination with the Directorate General of Forests.
\r\nThe fires have also destroyed large numbers of fruit trees and hundreds of species of medicinal, cosmetic and aromatic herbs that thousands of residents in and around forested areas rely on gathering and selling as a primary or supplementary source of income, directly harming the livelihoods of these groups and deepening their economic vulnerability.
\r\nFirefighting operations have also become more difficult due to the rugged, mountainous terrain in many of the affected areas, the highly flammable nature of certain tree species such as Aleppo pine, and the continuing drought combined with the hot, dry \"Chehili\" winds — factors that together complicate the work of firefighting teams and increase the risk of fires reigniting and spreading further.
\r\nIn terms of intervention frequency, Civil Protection units recorded hundreds of interventions per day in recent days; within just 48 hours, close to 2,800 interventions were logged, covering around 600 fires (roughly one fire every 5 minutes), while 900 fires were recorded over 72 hours between 20 and 22 July, and 296 fires were recorded among 939 interventions within a single 24-hour period. The Directorate General of Forests, for its part, took part in 917 firefighting operations since the start of the season, compared to only 620 operations over the same period in 2025.
\r\nThe fires led to emergency evacuations of the population in several threatened areas (particularly in Bizerte and Jendouba), precautionary evacuation of sheep and livestock in the Siliana and Ain Draham areas, and material damage affecting a number of homes, wooden cabins, restaurants and beachfront tourist facilities in Bizerte (specifically Ghar El Melh and Rafraf), with no human casualties reported in official data as of the preparation of this document,except cases of smoke inhalation or limited skin burning .Based on the field assessment carried out by the Tunisian Red Crescent, the number of families affected by the electricity and water cuts accompanying the heatwave is 1,183.
