Tala, her siblings, Leen and Lena, and her parents, like everyone in Gaza, urgently need medical supplies. Please consider signing up for a recurring donation if you're able. Truly, any support is greatly appreciated: chuffed.org/project/1924...

The devastating events in Nepal & Tibet originated from a glacier collapsing on the N side of Langtang-Lirung mountain. @gunjan87.bsky.social recent paper on Langtang glaciers shows that they are rapidly warming, and that the rate of recession is accelerating. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

“Shot dead” is passive. “murdered” names the actor. Words matter, especially when the state is pulling the trigger.

There is also the potential for widespread liquefaction in some areas that may impact many people. Liquefaction occurs when there is soft sand/soil & lightning a high water table. When seismic waves pass through it causes the ground to lose stability.
This page chart with the estimated area exposed to hazard and the estimated population exposure. On both charts significant is highlighted, which means that between 10,000 and 100,000 people may be exposed to the hazard.This is a map showing the potential exposure to liquefaction. The area in the valley is highlighted purple and orange, which means that it has a high hazard for experiencing liquefaction during earthquake shaking..
