💨 Abstract

A mudslide in Danyor, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan, killed seven volunteers and injured three while they repaired flood damage. This follows a glacial lake outburst that damaged the Karakoram Highway, affecting trade and transport. Landslides caused further damage, displacing residents. Authorities are assessing the impact, with officials noting increased glacial melt due to climate change. The region is prone to such events, with recent heavy rainfall and floods causing over 300 deaths nationally.
