Relief efforts underway after glacier burst damages over 100 houses in Pakistan’s north
ISLAMABAD: A glacier burst damaged more than 100 houses in Pakistan’s northern Gilgit-Baltistan (GB) region, a regional government spokesman said on Friday, with relief efforts underway in affected areas. A glacier burst, also known as a Glacial Lake Outburst Flood (GLOF), is a sudden release of water from a glacial lake, caused by the accelerated melting of glaciers due to rising global temperatures. The GLOF event occurred at around 3am on Friday in Rowshan and Talidas areas of Ghizer district in GB, home to thousands of glaciers and five of the world’s 14 peaks above 8,000 meters.
