Bad flood in the Himalaja
144
In the Himalaja mountains happens a bad disaster. A giant wall of ice and mud destroys houses and streets. The flood hits places in Nepal and Tibet. Researchers say: A part of a glacier breaks off. This happens because of big heat. The warmth melts the ice between the rocks.
Almost 400 people die in the flood. More than 1.400 people are still missing. Many tourists are also missing. Rescue workers search with helicopters for survivors. Many streets are broken. A new lake also makes worries. It can overflow soon.
Countries from the whole world help now. The United Nations give money for medicine and water. Germany and other states send help. Experts warn: Because of climate change the ice in the mountains melts faster. This makes life there dangerous. The earth becomes warmer. This leads to more disasters like this flood.
