The United Nations warned on September 3 that destroyed roads are hindering aid to isolated communities, forcing the use of porters and cargo drones. Malaysia has deployed an 11-member SMART team with 12 tonnes of gear to locate 55 uncontactable Malaysians. This follows a disaster that killed over 1,000 people after a glacial collapse and landslide triggered debris flows reaching 19 metres per second.Why it mattersThe event was c https://www.live-feeds.com/feed/china-nepal-floods-first-research-shows-no-one-could-have-outrun-debris-flowhttps://www.live-feeds.com/feed/china-nepal-floods-first-research-shows-no-one-could-have-outrun-debris-flow#u55504Thu, 03 Sep 2026 10:20:10 +0000A Chinese study reveals that debris from the China-Nepal flood disaster reached speeds of 19 metres per second at a Tibet border crossing, making it impossible for people to outrun the flow. The disaster, triggered by a Himalayan glacial collapse and a landslide involving a glacier, has killed over 1,000 people. While some reports indicate the NISAR satellite and other pre-event signs provided warnings days before the collapse, investigators are examining a gap between those alerts and the subsequent lack of action.Why it mattersThe event involved a massive ice-rock avalanche and mudslide in t
