None of the Ukrainians missing in Nepal appear on fatality lists – MFA
The number of Ukrainian citizens who were in Nepal and with whom contact cannot be established remains at 56; however, they are not on the lists of the dead or injured, the press service of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine informed journalists on Friday.
As of now, there are no Ukrainians on the lists of the dead and injured following the flooding and landslides in Nepal, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) of Ukraine. The MFA announced that the 56 Ukrainian citizens who were in Nepal, comprising two tourist groups and a woman as part of a foreign tourist group, are not included in these lists.
Search and rescue operations are ongoing in the difficult terrain, with the ERT under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs coordinating efforts with local authorities, foreign consular officials, tour operators, and rescue services. The situation remains challenging due to the scale of destruction and limited access. Over a thousand people are missing in total, with 489 confirmed dead and 2,381 still missing, including 644 foreign nationals from various countries.
