A disaster has hit the border between Nepal and Tibet. A huge flash flood swept through the area, leaving a trail of destruction behind.
At least 100 people have died. Hundreds more are still missing. Many of the missing people are tourists who were visiting the region.
Videos taken by people on the scene show the terrifying moment the water and mud started rushing in. People can be seen running for their lives as the flood hits.
Search and rescue teams are working hard to find survivors. The area is difficult to reach, which makes the rescue mission very dangerous and slow.
Scientists are looking into what caused this disaster. Many experts think that a large piece of a glacier—a huge, slow-moving block of ice—snapped off. When that happens, it can release a massive amount of water all at once, leading to a flood that moves like a giant wave.
Local authorities are still counting the dead and trying to reach those who are trapped. We will keep you updated as we learn more about this tragic event.
