The search for missing individuals in Nepal is ongoing despite treacherous terrain, damaged infrastructure and dangerous weather conditions.
A Canadian citizen previously reported missing in Nepal's recent flash floods has been found safe, according to an update from Global Affairs Canada. The agency is currently aware of 29 other Canadians and permanent residents whose whereabouts remain unknown, and is urging families to share any contact information that may assist in locating them.
In addition to the search efforts, Canada has pledged to send over 18,000 supply kits and provided $5 million in funding to support relief efforts in Nepal, where at least 1,204 people have been killed and over 4,200 remain missing following the floods on August 26.
