Sonu Sood arrives in Nepal with relief supplies for flood victims

Bollywood actor and philanthropist Sonu Sood arrived in Kathmandu with food, blankets and a promise that help for Nepal’s flood victims will not end this month.

Sood traveled with the Sood Charity Foundation team after catastrophic floods and landslides struck parts of northern Nepal on Aug. 26. The group brought immediate supplies from India and began assessing what affected communities need next.

“

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 [on track].

“We are here to meet all the victims of the flood,” Sood told reporters after arriving in Kathmandu. “We just want to be with the people who are in need and will try to bring their lives back [on track].”

He said the team had brought blankets and food materials, while continuing to ask people on the ground what additional assistance they require. “We have got a lot of blankets, food materials and we are still asking whatever they need, we are trying to send it from India,” he said.

We will make sure that not only this month but also in coming months, the relief keeps coming.

Sood also pledged longer-term support. “We will make sure that not only this month but also in coming months, the relief keeps coming,” he said. The visit follows his earlier public message to Nepal: “Nepal, you are not alone. We are coming with food, shelter and the strength to help you rebuild.”

The disaster followed a collapse in the Himalayan region and destroyed large areas of infrastructure. More than 1,000 people have died, thousands remain missing, and rescue teams are still searching for people believed to be trapped inside hydropower tunnels.
