Flood in Tibet

June 22, 2017;

Flooding has caused serious damage in Village No 5 in the Gyalchen township in Sog in the Nagchu prefecture, leaving four families homeless and many others with major damage to their property. Local monks provided help on the scene. It is believed locally that the flood was caused by accelerated glacier melt – the result of global warming; other areas in Tibet are experiencing similar problems.
