Nepal flash floods: Did earthquakes trigger the avalanche that left at least 22 dead and hundreds missing?
Nepal's Foreign Minister Shishir Khanal reported that an earthquake may have triggered an avalanche, leading to flash floods that killed at least 22 people. Initial assessments indicate that the avalanche blocked the Lhende River, causing water to surge downstream. Authorities warn of a potential second flood due to an upstream blockage, with 348 people still missing.
