00:00Five people are missing after a flash flood swept away homes and bridges in central Nepal.
00:05The disaster struck the Gorka district on Sunday, October 11.
00:09Powerful water surged through a mountain valley, carrying away buildings and damaging infrastructure.
00:15Rescue teams have been searching for those still unaccounted for, while families have fled their homes.
00:20The destruction has also raised concerns about access to shelter, electricity, and essential supplies.
00:27But what caused the sudden flood remains an important question.
00:31One possible explanation is that a landslide temporarily blocked the river or a nearby stream.
00:36If water built up behind that blockage, its sudden release could have sent a powerful surge downstream.
00:42However, the original report also mentions an ice avalanche as another possible explanation.
00:48Neither theory should be treated as confirmed without further evidence.
00:52The disaster comes just weeks after catastrophic flooding near Nepal's border, with Tibet killed more than 1,400 people and
00:59left thousands missing.
01:01Authorities now face another urgent search and recovery effort.
