Korea plans to send a disaster relief team to Nepal to assist in the aftermath of devastating floods and mudslides that have claimed over 800 lives and left around 3,000 people missing. The Korea Disaster Relief Team (KDRT), comprising 44 individuals from various agencies including the foreign ministry and the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA), is scheduled to depart for Nepal by military transport plane on Tuesday.
The team will remain in Nepal for approximately ten days to conduct search and rescue operations, with a particular focus on the nine missing Koreans. The massive floods and landslides struck Nepal's north-central Himalayan region near the Nepal-Tibet border last Wednesday.
