Aftermath
Devighat, Nepal
Rescue workers inspect damaged structures after the recent flash flooding along the Trishuli River in Devighat. The disaster was triggered by a glacier collapse that sent a deluge of ice, rock and mud through Nepal’s border region with China.

Lesson learned?
Galchi, Nepal
A mark shows the mud level on a wall in a classroom at Bageshwori secondary school after flash floods in Galchi. The Himalayas – spanning Nepal, India, China, Bhutan and Pakistan – are warming twice as fast as the global average, putting the region at increased risk of avalanches, landslides and floods.
