Aid efforts are underway after a sudden flood. Communities are struggling to cope with the aftermath. A Caritas worker describes the scene, noting the widespread presence of mud.

The flood was triggered by a breach in a natural barrier, causing a massive release of water, ice, and rock. Details about the response and current needs are being shared by aid workers. The risk of such a disaster was known, given the number of glacial lakes in the region.
