Story
The terrifying sight of the Khir Ganga river violently surging through Dharali has left the nation in shock. Entire homes and roads were swallowed in moments as the raging waters, thick with silt, cascaded down the hills. Four lives have been tragically lost, many are still missing, and countless families now face unimaginable devastation.
Disaster response teams—including the NDRF, SDRF, and Indian Army—are working tirelessly in rescue operations. Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami called the situation "extremely distressing," with relief efforts underway on a war footing. Dharali, a crucial stopover for pilgrims and tourists en route to Gangotri, now lies in ruins—hotels, homestays, and livelihoods swept away without warning.
These survivors urgently need your help.

In response to the devastating cloudburst and flash floods in Uttarkashi on August 5, 2025, ActionAid conducted rapid assessments in the most affected villages. The NGO targeted 200 of the most marginalised and vulnerable families in villages like Dharali, Harsil, Bagori, and Dunda. Among the beneficiaries were:
- 61 single women
- 8 persons with disabilities (PwDs)
- 131 individuals from migrant and tribal communities
The intervention provided immediate assistance, ensuring these families had access to essential supplies during the most critical period following the disaster.
