In the previous Substack post, I referred to tragedy of the glacial collapse on the borders of Nepal/Tibet. Text offered two reports and appeal to make a donation to support Nepalese, Tibetans and pilgrims in the region.
During one of Tom Riddle’s pilgrimages to Mount Kailash, he made a well-reeived 25 minute documentary made in 2015.
Here is the link to the documentary that conveys the wonder and beauty of this Himalayan region with a vulnerability that in moments this week tipped over into a region of intense suffering and loss.
Below is a very grim 12 minute footage of the massive descent of collapsed glacier, rocks and mud descending upon Gyirong, the checkpoint in Tibet, to enter Nepal.
Dear Readers,
The glacial collapse in Nepal/Tibet has brought a devastating loss to communities already living with limited resources.
Survivors grieve their loved ones while facing the immediate struggle for shelter, food, clean water, medical care, and a way to rebuild. For families in isolated mountain areas, help cannot always arrive quickly enough.
Find a reputable charity or Nepalese/Tibetan aid organisation in your own country that is raising funds for people affected by this disaster. A donation, shared with many others, can provide essential relief and offer families an important measure of relief at an unbearable time.
Let us stand beside the people of this Himalayan region with practical kindness, generosity, and urgency.
Distance does not lessen our shared humanity.
Please act now, if you can.
