A key highway to the Tibet disaster zone has been restored, allowing access to the area. The floods, which occurred in late August, left a trail of destruction and loss of life in the region.
The unstable Tibetan Plateau is at risk of cascading disasters due to glacier losses in Nepal and China, according to recent studies. Glaciers are not just victims of disaster, but also sources of disaster, as their melting can lead to mudslides and flash floods.
