Nepal flash floods: What triggered the disaster, and why the country is so vulnerable
On August 26, flash floods devastated the Nepal-Tibet border, claiming at least 100 lives and leaving many missing, including 105 Indians. The floods affected the Lhende Khola and Bhote Koshi river systems, destroying infrastructure and triggering a mudslide at Gyirong Port.
