Himalayan Floods Leave 1500 Missing
The Himalayan region experienced a devastating flood resulting from sudden heavy rains caused by glacial and landslide avalanches, leading to the death of at least 165 people and the loss of around 1,500 lives, including many foreigners. The floods destroyed homes and blocked roads, as rescue efforts continue with the use of planes and helicopters to search for the missing, with the number of casualties expected to rise. This disaster occurs amid increasing flood risks due to shrinking glaciers and climate change, which are intensifying the frequency and severity of extreme weather events in the area.
