- The EUR 2.5 million figure refers specifically to the emergency funding for the 2026 flash flood disaster, not to total EU humanitarian aid to Nepal: the EU had already allocated 'almost EUR 3 million in humanitarian aid' at the start of the year for Nepal for other needs, so total EU humanitarian aid to Nepal in 2026 exceeds EUR 2.5 million.
- The MEP presents EUR 2.5 million as the total EU humanitarian aid given to Nepal, which understates the broader EU humanitarian engagement in the country (EU humanitarian aid presence in Nepal dates back to 2001).
