Humanitarian groups delivered 84 metric tons of aid to Nepal in the wake of deadly flash floods
Since August 26, tens of thousands of people in Nepal have been reeling from deadly flash floods triggered by a glacier collapse.
Along with local on-the-ground fundraisers, locals have been supported by a number of international aid organizations, including UNICEF and European Union Humanitarian Aid, which just coordinated a flight carrying 84 metric tons of critical humanitarian supplies that landed in Kathmandu on the morning of September 4.
The aid on board included acute watery diarrhea kits and diagnostic equipment; water tanks, hygiene kits, and water treatment supplies; tents; winter clothing kits for infants and children; and learning materials.
Why is this good news? As a UNICEF representative said, “Thousands of children have seen their lives turned upside down in a matter of minutes. Many have lost their homes, their classrooms, and their sense of normalcy. This shipment will help us deliver urgently needed support and reach children and families with services that protect their health, wellbeing, and future.”
In 2026, Africa will install a record 17 gigawatts of solar capacity, up 45% over last year
Exports of solar panels from China to Africa surged from June 2025 to June 2026, and estimates project a total 17 gigawatts of solar will be installed in total in 2026 — around 100,000 panels every day. It represents a 45% increase year-on-year.
Notably, the installs are happening across the continent, with 36 out of 54 African countries expected to install a record amount of solar this year and 19 countries have seen a 100% year-on-year increase.
The installations in 2026 alone will also generate terawatt hours annually, making up 2.3% of the continent’s total electricity generation exceeding its historic 2.2% average annual demand growth.
