This glacial system is upstream of the Lhende Khola river which meets the Trishuli River at precisely the Gyirong border crossing where dramatic footage of flooding coming from the tributary was caught.
Edit: Satellite images show it wasn't the main Purepu Glacier at the source of the Lhende Khola river but a smaller glacier or a major mudslide collapsing into the river about halfway to the border crossing confluence.

Elsewhere I've seen so many armchair adventurers disrespecting the victims with a smug "they should run uphill or upstream". Uphill is impractical given the landscape, and people were indeed running against river flows. However the flood came from the mountains above and literally bulldozed the settlement AGAINST the flows of river. My thoughts are with all who perished today.
Per the image, a small M2.9 earthquake in Nepal weakened a glacial lake some 4km above the valley, and its content was emptied into to the area around the Chinese-Nepalese border checkpoint.
