Nepal is facing a devastating flash flood disaster, with the death toll crossing 160 and hundreds of people still missing. A massive glacier collapse in the Himalayas triggered a surge of water, mud, rock and ice through valleys near the Nepal-Tibet border. Rescue teams are using helicopters and ground operations to search for survivors and reach isolated areas.

A rare and powerful tornado tore through Pomas in southern France, damaging around 300 homes and injuring 39 people, including two critically. The storm ripped roofs from houses, damaged vehicles and forced the evacuation of the entire village. The tornado struck as severe thunderstorms followed an intense heatwave across southern France, leaving thousands of households without power.
