Kathmandu: Four of the eight countries in the Hindu Kush Himalaya region experienced over 10 major disasters in 2025 with about 1.2 million people directly affected, ICIMOD said Thursday.
The analysis by the inter-governmental body, International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) also said the increasing impact of disasters in the Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH) region may be linked to the growing prevalence of multi-hazard events, especially in Bangladesh, India, Nepal, and Pakistan, but the post-2013 trend suggests fewer lives are being hit year-on-year.
