In the Himalaya mountains is a bad disaster. A big water flood destroys houses and bridges on Wednesday. In Nepal and Tibet die 543 people. More than 1400 people are still missing. Many tourists from other lands are also missing.
The rescue work is very hard. On Friday is a new alarm. A lake of mud and dirt threatens to overflow. The helpers must stop the work for a short time. Now the search for living people goes on. Helicopters bring hurt people to safety.
There is also good news. A family from Germany is safe. A helicopter brings the 4 persons to an army camp. Many other Germans are still searched. The ministry in Berlin helps with the search.
Experts think: A glacier breaks high in the mountains. Ice and stones make the flood. Warm weather from climate change is a reason. Experts want better warning systems for people in the mountains.
