Nepal Floods: Rescue operations enter sixth day, Thousands still missing

A deadly flash flood near ​Nepal's border with Tibet on Wednesday may have been triggered when the lower part of a glacier broke off and ‌crashed on to the valley floor hundreds of metres below, experts said citing satellite imagery from Planet Labs. It was not clear what caused the glacier to collapse, but Nepali officials have pointed to an earthquake in the region minutes earlier as a possibility.
