“The Lhende Khola has flooded twice in fourteen months, this time most probably triggered by an ice avalanche blocked the river and released a sudden surge downstream. This still needs to be confirmed, as we receive further information. These are cascading hazards: a cryosphere event becomes a flood in a settlement within hours.”
– Saswata Sanyal, DRR Specialist, ICIMOD, Nepal

Here is a detailed and carefully-phrased press release by

Today, a massive flash flood hit the #Bhotekoshi river, affecting #Rasuwa and #Nuwakot districts here in #Nepal.

At least (update: 270) lives have been confirmed to have been lost, but based on what information I can gather, the count for missing people could be in hundreds, if not thousands.

Me and my family are not in the affected regions, however a huge number of people from a community that one of my Uni friend is a part have been affected, and are missing.
