UN appeals for $50M to aid 84,000 affected by Nepal glacier flood

The UN launched an urgent appeal for nearly $50 million to assist over 84,000 people affected by a deadly flood in Nepal on August 26, caused by a glacier collapse and a section of a dam. The funds will provide food, shelter, water, and medicine. The event highlights the growing risk of glacial lake outburst floods in the Himalayas, with cross-border impacts in Tibet.
