Families fly to Nepal in search for 33 missing British nationals

Families are traveling to Nepal to assist in the search for 33 British citizens still missing following devastating floods. Neetu Goyal Tiwari, one of the missing, has not been seen since Wednesday. Her brother, Naresh Goyal, has appealed to authorities to locate her. Nepalese officials have named 573 tourists still missing in the country.

The UK is deploying a crisis response team to aid British nationals affected by the disaster. Prime Minister Andy Burnham has pledged £5 million in humanitarian aid. Neetu Goyal Tiwari, 51, was on a pilgrimage to Kailash Mansarovar when the floods struck. Her family has contacted the Indian government and the British embassy in Kathmandu for help.

Neetu's husband, Shantanu, revealed she was at the Gyirong checkpoint when the floods occurred. Another family, the Patels from Coventry, are also missing, with their parents, Bipin and Mala Patel, believed to have crossed into Tibet moments before the landslide. The families are desperate for any information regarding their loved ones, with some traveling to Nepal to personally search for them.
