The relief effort follows major flooding in the region. Flash floods and debris flows struck along a 72-kilometre stretch of the Trishuli River in Nepal and destroyed the Gyirong Port on the China-Nepal border on 26 August 2026. [2]

Sydney is the capital of New South Wales and the largest city in Australia. The funds raised during the Sydney launch will go directly towards helping communities impacted by the disaster. [1][4]
