Bhotekoshi (Nepal and Tibet) Flash Flood ( Bay Area Funds )

On August 26, a glacial lake outburst flood that started on the Chinese border in the Xizang/Tibet region caused serious flooding and mudslides in northern Nepal and along the border. The number of confirmed deaths exceeds 150, and hundreds more are still missing. Many homes, roads, bridges, power stations, and other important infrastructure have been destroyed or severely damaged. Several bridges and roads have been washed away, making it very difficult to reach some affected areas. Your Donation Supports Oxfam-America Inc.
