A massive landslide blocked the Bhote Koshi river, causing a water avalanche that flowed from China to Nepal. Scientists believe a glacier may have broken off and fallen into the valley, triggering or worsening the landslide's effects. Authorities have reported hundreds of deaths.

Further details about this incident are available.

The US Department of State has also taken action, suspending immigrant visa appointments temporarily worldwide. Additionally, a recent meeting between the foreign ministers of Mexico and the US took place, and information about their discussion is available.
