Nepal Flood Triggered by Rock and Ice Avalanche: Report
Nepal's disaster authority has confirmed that a recent flash flood was triggered by a massive avalanche of rock and ice. This event mirrors a similar mountain collapse that occurred in August, unleashing a devastating tsunami-like wall of water. Authorities are closely monitoring vulnerable mountainous regions as climate conditions continue to destabilize glacial slopes, increasing the frequency of such dangerous natural hazards.
