Last update: 10 hours agoHimalayan Disaster Response: Flash floods after a suspected glacier collapse on the Nepal–China border have killed at least 472–579 people (figures vary by agency) and left more than 1,500 missing, with hundreds of foreign tourists among those unaccounted for; injured people are being taken to hospitals in Kathmandu and nearby districts as rescue teams work in hard-to-reach terrain. Latvia Security & Healthcare Continuity: Latvia’s PM Andris Kulbergs said the military threat level is unchanged and a direct Russian invasion risk remains low, after a draft proposal for a temporary state of emergency in the eastern border region (covering healthcare, energy and water) sparked public concern and was withdrawn for revision. Workforce Health in Emergency Services: A new study of firefighters in Estonia and Latvia links high job demands with poor recovery: about 55% are overweight or obese, many report sleep deprivation and back pain, and Latvian workers report more anger and panic attacks. Public Health Research: A report on vaccine “bonus benefits” highlights that the newer shingles vaccine was associated with lower rates of heart disease and stroke over seven years compared with an older version.
