Sonu Sood Reaches Kathmandu with Flood Relief Supplies for Nepal
Actor Sonu Sood has arrived in Kathmandu with relief supplies to assist people affected by devastating flash floods in Nepal, stating that his foundation will continue providing aid in the months ahead.
Accompanied by members of the Sood Charity Foundation, the actor landed in the Nepalese capital on Tuesday carrying essential supplies, including food materials and blankets, according to The Kathmandu Post. The distribution targets families affected by the disaster that struck the region on August 26.
Speaking to reporters on the ground, Sood said the team's objective is to meet victims directly and support their recovery. He noted that while food and blankets formed the immediate relief consignment, his team is actively assessing the ongoing needs of local communities to arrange further shipments from India.
"We are here to meet all the victims of the flood. We just want to be with the people who are in need and will try to bring their lives back," Sood said. He added that the foundation will ensure relief supplies continue to arrive not only this month but throughout the coming months.
The flash floods were triggered by a collapse of ice and rock near the Nepal-Tibet border, causing extensive destruction across towns and villages in northern and central Nepal. Figures from Nepal's National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority showed the death toll rose to 1,003 on Tuesday, with approximately 4,000 individuals still missing and nearly 12,000 rescued.
The 53-year-old actor previously announced his relief plans on August 26 via social media platform X, assuring affected residents of support with food and shelter. Following his arrival, he shared photographs with children in Nepal on Tuesday night, reaffirming his foundation's commitment to assisting displaced families as they rebuild their lives.
This initiative adds to Sood's previous humanitarian operations. The actor previously arranged transport for thousands of stranded migrant workers across India during the COVID-19 pandemic, carried out relief missions during the Punjab floods in 2025, and provided free accommodation in March this year to travellers stranded in Dubai following flight disruptions.
