On Thursday morning, the world is focused on Nepal after a violent flash flood on Wednesday morning left at least 162 dead in this Himalayan country between India and China, and at least three more in Tibet. Nepalese authorities claim there are two Spaniards still missing. Main provisional lists of people missing across the border gather over 1,100 names, including foreigners, as well as security forces personnel, customs officials, and workers on various hydroelectric projects.

As rescue teams try to navigate destroyed roads and international experts attempt to accurately clarify what happened, satellite images are already helping reconstruct the possible origin of the catastrophe. The combined tally so far stands at 165 fatalities.
