The flash flood in Nepal resulted in over 1,455 confirmed deaths, with more than 5,000 people missing. Infrastructure damage included the destruction of 14 power stations, 38 schools, 68 bridges, and 42 km of roadway. The disaster emphasises the risks posed by glacier-related hazards in the Himalayas, including Ladakh, India. Melting glaciers and unstable mountain slopes due to climate change increase the likelihood of such events, posing significant threats to lives, livelihoods, and infrastructure in vulnerable regions.
