77 Malaysians found in Tibet, Nepal being repatriated
Government spokesman Fahmi Fadzil says they are being brought to Kathmandu for the journey home, while 55 others are still unaccounted for.
The 77 Malaysians found in Nepal and Tibet following last week's flash floods are being transported to Kathmandu to assist in their return to Malaysia, according to government spokesman Fahmi Fadzil. Fifty-five other Malaysians remain missing. This information was shared during today's Cabinet meeting by Foreign Minister Mohamad Hasan, who reported to the press conference in Putrajaya today.
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim recently approved a US$1 million contribution to provide humanitarian aid in Nepal. The disaster was caused by a high-altitude glacial collapse that triggered a massive surge of water, rocks, and debris along the China-Nepal border on August 26.
