Episode Details

Flash floods devastate the Nepal-China border, claiming over 500 lives and leaving hundreds missing as rescue teams battle mudslides and a dangerous new lake. Nepal insists it can handle its own search efforts but welcomes technical help, while China reports the lake’s water level is falling. India confirms 320 citizens are still unaccounted for and is deploying relief and tunnel rescue units. Tens of thousands are displaced, schools and clinics damaged, and health workers missing — prompting Nepal’s PM to pledge one month’s salary to aid victims. Experts point to a high-altitude glacier collapse as the likely trigger, with scientists warning that warming Himalayan glaciers heighten risks of such disasters, even as climate links remain under investigation.
