An avalanche struck a group preparing to climb the Himlung Himal peak in Nepal, killing at least two people and leaving at least 10 Nepalese guides and support staff missing. The incident occurred as Nepal recovers from devastating floods that have now killed at least 14 people across the country, with 11 more missing after heavy rain triggered additional floods and landslides. The twin disasters are compounding the humanitarian crisis in the Himalayan nation as the peak tourism season begins, leaving a million people dependent on tourism struggling to survive amid the ongoing recovery efforts.
