Professor Krkač explained the cause of the disaster in Nepal: "It's possible in the Alps, and it can't be prevented".

The article discusses the causes of a catastrophic ice rock avalanche in Nepal’s Rasuwa district, which resulted in over 500 deaths and around 1,000 missing people, including many foreign tourists. The event occurred at high altitudes where temperatures were unusually high, leading to irreversible changes in glaciers. Dr. Martin Krkač, a professor from Croatia, explains that the disaster was caused by a combination of glacier collapse, rockfall, and subsequent flooding. He notes that while such events are rare in Croatia due to its lower altitude and lack of glaciers, similar processes could occur in the Alps. He also highlights the role of climate change in accelerating glacier melting, which contributes to landslides and debris flows. A member of the Croatian Mountain Rescue Service who was present in Nepal attributes the disaster to global warming and the disruption of natural balance.

The death toll from the catastrophic floods in Nepal has risen to nearly 600

The number of casualties from catastrophic flash floods in Nepal has risen to nearly 600, with over 550 confirmed deaths and 1,500 people missing. Experts report that a high mountain rockslide triggered an avalanche that pulled down a glacier, leading to the disaster. The Nepalese authorities have rejected assistance from foreign rescue services. The situation highlights the severity of natural disasters in the region and the challenges faced by local governance.
