A landslide followed by devastating flash floods occurred on Wednesday in Nepal and Tibet, causing the death of hundreds of people. The tragedy struck several communities in the Himalayas region.
Authorities and experts are beginning to investigate the causes of the disaster, with possible explanations including a glacier collapse and a phenomenon described as "liquid cement," which is believed to have contributed to the intensity of the floods.
This event comes at a time when warnings are emerging about the growing threat of climate change in the Himalayas region, an area particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change.
Rescue operations are ongoing as authorities try to account for the total number of victims and assess the extent of the damage caused by this catastrophe.
