Over 90,000 people affected by Himalayan landslide, Red Cross says

Over ninety thousand people are directly affected by a Himalayan landslide and need urgent aid. Aid officials express serious concerns about potential secondary flooding and further cascading hazards. Relief supplies are currently blocked as a landslide-formed lake has breached its banks. Six health facilities were damaged, and eight healthcare workers remain missing after the event. Disruption to services increases the risk of infectious diseases spreading among displaced populations.
