US pledges $3.5M flood aid for Nepal and Tibet; CRS distributes first tranche

The U.S. has pledged $3.5 million in flood aid for Nepal and Tibet, with the first $500,000 already distributed by Catholic Relief Services. The focus now shifts to delivering essential supplies to survivors in remote, flood-affected areas. The scale of need and logistical challenges remain uncertain, but the pledge signals a coordinated international response.
