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.
A group of 77 Malaysians who were among over 1,000 people confirmed dead and nearly 4,500 missing after flash floods in Nepal have been found in Nepal and Tibet. The Malaysians are being repatriated to Kuala Lumpur, with 55 others still unaccounted for. Foreign Minister Mohamad Hasan informed the Cabinet about the repatriation plans, noting Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's approval of a $1 million donation for relief efforts in Nepal.
The disaster, triggered by a glacial collapse, caused a massive surge of water, rocks, and debris along the China-Nepal border on August 26.
