How a collapsing glacier may have caused the catastrophic Nepal floods

A series of flash floods has destroyed villages in parts of Nepal and Tibet, as experts say a falling glacier likely triggered a chain reaction of events that could get worse.

How a collapsing glacier may have caused the catastrophic Nepal floods

Linda Govender, a mother from the United States, is desperately seeking any credible information regarding her daughter, Terricia, who is currently missing in Nepal. Terricia was among a group of pilgrims from the Isha Foundation when they encountered a flash flood near the border between Nepal and Tibet on Wednesday. Linda's daughter was at the Gyirong Immigration Office near the Nepal-China border when the devastating flood struck.

The Isha Foundation has been in close communication with Linda and is working alongside local authorities to gather information and provide necessary assistance. Linda expressed her gratitude for their efforts during this trying time. However, they are still eagerly awaiting any confirmed updates about Terricia's location.

As Terricia's mother, Linda is facing an immense amount of uncertainty and emotional distress. In her heartfelt plea, she implores the public to keep her daughter in their prayers. She requests that anyone with credible information about the affected Isha pilgrimage group, the rescue operations at Gyirong, or any contact with members of the group to come forward.

Linda understands that she may not be able to respond to every message immediately, but she assures everyone that every prayer, message of support, and piece of genuine information is deeply appreciated by her family.

Linda strongly encourages everyone to pray for Terricia and all those affected by the tragic incident.
