The brief

The disaster was triggered by a glacier collapse that sent a wall of water and debris crashing into valleys and villages.

The immediate aftermath saw a scramble to rescue survivors and recover bodies. Mass burials began as the scale of the catastrophe became clear.

The Nuwakot district was particularly hard hit, with aerial footage showing vast areas of devastation. The focus is now on finding those still missing and providing aid to survivors. The disaster has raised questions about Nepal's vulnerability to such events. Time Magazine explores the factors contributing to Nepal's flood risk.
