A catastrophic flood triggered by a glacier collapse has struck the border region between Tibet and Nepal, resulting in a significant loss of life. Authorities in Kathmandu have confirmed the recovery of 165 bodies, while more than 800 individuals remain missing. The disaster has prompted an international response, with the United States pledging 500,000 dollars in aid to support the affected populations.
