Multiple areas in GB remain cut off after flash floods, Glofs wash away access routes
Multiple areas in Gilgit-Baltistan remain cut off due to flash floods and glacial lake outburst floods (Glofs) caused by rapid glacier melting. Road access to several regions has been disrupted for four consecutive days, affecting relief operations and leaving thousands stranded. Efforts to restore key routes like the Astore Valley Road and Hisper Road continue amid challenges from high water levels and damaged infrastructure.
