The water is from the sea all the way up to the mountains ?

Their country and people are already quite poor to begin with. With this disaster, now even more jialat. Really poor thing. Is there any legit outlet for donations?

Supposedly earthquake destroy the dam, which releases the water up in mountain.

The United States Geological Survey (USGS) had first reported the event as a magnitude 4.4 earthquake on Wednesday, but later confirmed the incident "was instead a glacial collapse and debris flow" that "caused subsequent catastrophic impacts downstream".



Similar incident last year

Glacial flood?

Earthquake causes an avalanche. All the ice fell into a high water body trapped behind sand and rock debris. The debris collapsed releasing all the water, sand and rocks.
