More than 6,000 people were injured in the Nepal floods on 26 August.

• The exact injured figure (6,827) comes from a single aggregator site citing NDRRMA and Nepal Police; no direct primary official publication (NDRRMA/Nepal Police) confirming the injured total was accessible, so the claim rests on one independently uncorroborated source.
• The 6,827 injured figure is reported as of around 20 September 2026, a few days after the 16 September session date; the count is cumulative and was likely lower on the day the MEP spoke, so 'over 6,000' cannot be pinpointed to the session date.
• The claim is a lower bound ('over 6,000'); the underlying figure (6,827) satisfies the bound but the true magnitude is larger.
