A Virginia family is desperately pleading for more rescue assistance after four relatives went missing during catastrophic flash floods along the Nepal-China border. The victims, including Mukti Patel's father, sister, and her sister's husband, were part of a larger group of over 2,000 people unaccounted for in the disaster. Mukti, 27, and her family are currently huddled at her parents' home in Richmond, Virginia, anxiously awaiting any news of their loved ones.
The family was part of a two-week excursion organized by Himalayan Glacier Adventure and Travel Company, which had 40 guests and seven tour guides. All of them are now missing, according to managing director Sanket Pandey. Among the unaccounted for are about 90 Americans, as reported by the U.S. State Department.
