54 Malaysians uncontactable after Nepal floods
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim says efforts to locate them and obtain updates on their condition are under way.
A surge in the number of Malaysians unaccounted for following flash floods in Nepal's Rasuwa district has reached 54, according to recent reports. Prime Minister Anwar expressed deep concern over the situation, as the Malaysian embassy in Kathmandu collaborated with Nepalese authorities to locate and assess the welfare of the missing individuals. As of now, 17 Malaysians were previously reported missing after the floods, according to the Nepal Tourism Board.
The Malaysian High Commission in Dhaka, Bangladesh, is mobilizing officers to enhance coordination on the ground amidst the communication and electricity disruptions caused by the massive flash floods that swept through the Bhote Koshi River area in northern Rasuwa. Efforts to ensure the safety and welfare of the affected Malaysians remain a top priority for Putrajaya, as the country continues to closely monitor the evolving situation.
