Melting Glacier Causes Deadly Flood in Nepal

A wall of ice broke apart in Nepal's Rasuwa region on August 27, 2026, sending a sudden rush of water that killed people. Scientists say global warming is weakening frozen ground high in the Hindu Kush Himalaya mountains. The research group ICIMOD says these glaciers now melt twice as fast as before 2000, endangering two billion people living near rivers below.
