Yesterday, Regional Security Officer Wil Vaughn represented the U.S. Embassy at the official transfer to Nepal Police of DNA-testing supplies provided as part of a $1 million U.S. contribution to support Nepal’s Rapid DNA systems. Manufactured by U.S. company Thermo Fisher Scientific in Middletown, Virginia, these supplies will help Nepal’s forensic teams expand ongoing DNA testing to identify victims and provide answers to families waiting for news of their loved ones, including families of American citizens and all those affected by this tragedy.

The United States is supporting Nepal’s flood response across multiple fronts, including forensic identification, emergency relief, logistics, health, and recovery. To date, the United States has committed more than $36 million in assistance to Nepal’s flood response and recovery efforts.

Last evening, Deputy Chief of Mission Scott Urbom joined U.S. Government exchange program alumni and Nepali alumni of U.S. universities for a gathering in solidarity with families and communities affected by Nepal’s devastating floods.

In the wake of the disaster, U.S. exchange alumni have turned their networks into action. Through the Nepal-U.S. Alumni Network (NUSAN), alumni have mobilized relief supplies, supported blood donation efforts, and reached affected communities across Nepal.

“From day one, the United States has worked alongside our Nepali partners to mobilize assistance for those affected by this disaster. That partnership is reflected not only in U.S. Government support, but also in the extraordinary response of our exchange alumni, who have stepped forward to serve their communities when they are needed most. As Nepal moves from response toward recovery, we will continue working together to support those affected,” DCM Urbom said.

The State Department has provided more than $36 million in humanitarian, health, and forensic assistance, including emergency food and logistics support, DNA and forensic assistance, and disaster-response supplies and equipment.

The evening also featured the premiere of a special tribute song by American country artist and State Department Musical Envoy Jessica Lynn and renowned Nepali sarangi musician and U.S. exchange alumnus Kiran Nepali, bringing American and Nepali voices together to remember those lost, honor those still awaiting answers, and express the friendship and compassion connecting our two countries.

अमेरिकाले नेपालको बाढीपछिको पुनर्लाभ कार्यमा सहयोग गर्न थप ३ करोड १० लाख डलर उपलब्ध गराउने

राजनीतिक मामिला हेर्ने अमेरिकी उपविदेश मन्त्री एलिसन हुकरले आज नेपालका परराष्ट्र मन्त्री शिशिर खनालसँग न्युयोर्कमा भेटवार्ता गर्नुभएको छ । उपविदेश मन्त्री हुकरले हाल बेपत्ता रहेका करिब ७० जना अमेरिकीका परिवारहरूलगायत नेपालमा आएको विनाशकारी बाढीबाट प्रभावित सबैप्रति अमेरिकाको हार्दिक सहानुभूति व्यक्त गर्नुभयो ।

भेटवार्ताका क्रममा उपविदेश मन्त्री हुकरले आवश्यक नापअनुसार निर्मित स्थायी पुलहरूका लागि एक करोड अमेरिकी डलर (करिब डेढ अर्ब रुपैयाँ) को कोष उपलब्ध गराउने योजना रहेको बताउनुभयो । ती पुलहरू हामी अमेरिकी कम्पनीबाट सगर्व खरिद गर्नेछौँ । बाढीबाट प्रभावित क्षेत्रहरूमा ती पुलले महत्त्वपूर्ण यातायात पूर्वाधारको पुनर्स्थापना गर्नुका साथै क्षेत्रीय कनेक्टिभिटीलाई सुदृढ पार्नेछन् ।

उपविदेश मन्त्रीले बाढीबाट प्रभावित समुदायहरूका लागि खानेपानी, स्वच्छता र सरसफाइका साथै आश्रय, सुरक्षा, जीविकोपार्जन र जाडोसम्बन्धी सहयोगका निम्ति थप ८० लाख डलर (करिब सवा अर्ब रुपैयाँ) को सहायता उपलब्ध गराउने योजनाको पनि घोषणा गर्नुभयो । अमेरिकी विदेश मन्त्रालयले भविष्यमा विपद् पुनःस्थापना प्रयासहरूमा अझ प्रभावकारी रूपमा सहयोग पुर्‍याउन डिजाइन गरिएका अमेरिकामा निर्मित ड्रोनहरूका लागि १ करोड ३० लाख अमेरिकी डलर उपलब्ध गराउने योजना पनि बनाएको छ।

यो कोषको घोषणासँगै नेपालको बाढीसम्बन्धी प्रतिकार्य तथा पुनर्लाभ कार्यमा अमेरिकाको कुल सहयोग ३ करोड ६० लाख डलर (करिब साढे ५ अर्ब रुपैयाँ) नाघेको छ । सहयोगको सर्वाधिक खाँचो भएका ठाउँको पहिचान गर्न र त्यहाँ सहायता पुर्‍याउन अमेरिकाले नेपालसँग निकट रूपमा सहकार्य गर्न जारी राख्नेछ ।

United States to Provide Additional $31 Million to Support Nepal's Flood Recovery Efforts

Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Allison Ho**er met today with Nepal's Foreign Minister Shisir Khanal in New York. Under Secretary Ho**er extended the United States’ heartfelt sympathies to all of those affected by the devastating floods in Nepal, including the families of the approximately 70 Americans who remain unaccounted for.

During their meeting, Under Secretary Ho**er announced plans to provide $10 million in funding for permanent, custom-built bridges, which we are proudly sourcing from a U.S. company. These bridges will restore critical transportation infrastructure in affected areas and strengthen regional connectivity.

The Under Secretary also announced plans to provide $8 million in additional assistance for water, sanitation, and hygiene, as well as shelter, protection, livelihoods, and winterization support, to affected communities. The Department also plans to provide $13 million in U.S.-made drones designed to better support future disaster recovery efforts.

This funding announcement brings the United States’ total assistance to Nepal’s flood response and recovery efforts to more than $36 million. The United States will continue to work closely with the Government of Nepal to identify and deliver additional assistance where it is most needed.

Deputy Chief of Mission Scott Urbom met with Deputy Inspector General of Nepal Police Deependra GC in Pokhara on September 18 to discuss ongoing flood-response efforts and U.S.-Nepal cooperation.

The Nepal Police are coordinating critical flood-response efforts following the August 26 Bhote Koshi-Trishuli disaster, including working closely with FBI specialists with recovery and victim identification, along a corridor where more than 2.2 million tons of debris and mud traveled nearly 200 kilometers downstream.

DCM Urbom thanked the Nepal Police for their determined work and longstanding assistance in locating, rescuing, and supporting American citizens in Nepal.

19/09/2026

American country artist and State Department Arts and Music Envoy Jessica Lynn and renowned Nepali sarangi musician and U.S. exchange alumnus Kiran Nepali came together through music to honor those affected by Nepal’s devastating August 26 floods.

Their song, “You Save Me,” is dedicated to those who lost their lives, those still missing, and communities facing the difficult work of recovery.

It also recognizes the first responders, volunteers, and others who continue to support affected families.

This American-Nepali collaboration reflects the enduring friendship between our countries and our shared concern for all those affected by the floods.

On behalf of the United States of America, I extend my sincere congratulations to the people of Nepal as you mark Constitution Day on September 19.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the families and communities devastated by the recent flash flood, including our fellow Americans affected by this tragedy. As search, rescue, and recovery efforts continue, the United States joins Nepal in mourning the lives lost and stands committed to supporting recovery efforts.

The U.S.-Nepal relationship spans nearly 80 years, and the United States looks forward to further strengthening our partnership through the expansion of trade, innovation, and investment ties to benefit both our nations in the years to come.
