The devastating impact of climate change on Himalayan villages

Published
Residents of a Himalayan village in India are still recovering from a landslide and flash flooding that decimated their community. Scientists say the disaster was likely caused by a combination of retreating glaciers and rainfall, which sent debris plummeting thousands of metres onto the village below. Locals say more lives may be lost as the warming climate changes the landscape. SBS News International Correspondent Aaron Fernandes reports from the village of Dharali in Uttarakhand state.
