Catastrophic Glacial Flash Floods Kill Hundreds in Northern Nepal
A massive landslide caused by the collapse of an alpine glacier, coupled with intense monsoon rains, triggered devastating flash floods across Nepal's northern districts. Entire villages, including hospitals and schools, were destroyed. The Nepali Army has rescued 119 people, but hundreds remain missing. South Korea has announced the deployment of a 44-member emergency relief team to support search-and-rescue operations as the region faces its worst climate-driven disaster of the year.
