Nepal: 2,400 Missing and Power Capacity Cut After Devastating Floods
Devastating floods in Nepal have cut power generation capacity while leaving 2,400 people missing. According to the New York Times, search and rescue operations continue as relief efforts enter their fourth day. A glacier-triggered flash flood struck earlier in the week, causing widespread destruction. The scale of the devastation signals a difficult recovery ahead for the country and raises questions about renewable energy expansion in this mountainous region prone to natural disasters.
