Tibet lake collapse prompts Nepal flood alert
A glacier collapse in Tibet, resulting from the melting of glaciers, caused devastating floods that killed around 500 people and left more than 1,400 others missing in Nepal and Tibet. Since the disaster struck two days ago, floods and frozen waters have swept away entire towns, submerged homes, and destroyed bridges. Rescue efforts have faced difficulties and have been halted by China amid fears of further flooding. Rescue operations continue in Nepal, with attempts to save approximately 100 people trapped in a hydroelectric project tunnel, despite challenging conditions and rough weather. Warnings persist about ongoing flood risks and the expansion of accumulated glacial lakes.
