The Himalayan Catastrophe: A Disaster in Slow Motion The devastating floods that swept through the Himalayas on August 26 have left a trail of death and destruction, with over 630 bodies recovered and nearly 3,000 people missing.
The disaster has also affected an estimated 93,000 people, including hundreds of foreigners and trekkers attempting to reach Tibet's sacred Mount Kailash. The sheer scale of the disaster is staggering.
Despite significant investments in hydropower projects, the region remains vulnerable to natural forces beyond human control.
