Heavy flooding in Nepal has claimed the lives of at least 54 Malaysian citizens, a figure that has risen from the previous 17 reported casualties. The disaster, caused by the overflow of the Koshi River, has devastated numerous villages and destroyed roads, buildings, and hydroelectric projects in the Rasuwagadhi-Timure region of Nepal.
Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim confirmed via a Facebook post that the Malaysian High Commission in Kathmandu is working closely with Nepalese authorities and relevant agencies. At present, 54 Malaysians remain unaccounted for since the incident. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is actively searching for information on their whereabouts and efforts to gather updates on their condition are underway.
The Malaysian High Commission in Dhaka is also mobilizing to strengthen coordination efforts on the ground. Yesterday, the Nepal Tourism Board reported that 17 Malaysians, among hundreds of foreign nationals, were among the casualties from the sudden flash flood that led to widespread destruction in Rasuwa.
