A catastrophic glacier collapse in the Himalayas has triggered devastating floods that surged across the Nepal-China border, claiming at least 330 lives and leaving over 1,300 people unaccounted for. Rescue efforts are underway amid reports of entire villages being swept away by the sudden deluge, raising fears of a much higher death toll. Authorities in both countries are scrambling to assess the full extent of the disaster, which has cut off communication in remote mountain regions. The incident underscores growing concerns over climate change’s impact on fragile glacial systems in the region.
