Korea has announced that a second relief team will return to Nepal to continue searching for nine Korean nationals who are still missing after floods and landslides hit the region last month. The decision comes after the second team of the Korea Disaster Relief Team (KDRT) is set to conclude its seven-day mission and depart for home later in the day, according to the country's foreign ministry.
The missing individuals, who worked at a hydropower plant construction site near the Nepal-Tibet border, include six employees from Doosan Enerbility and three from Korea South-East Power. They went missing on August 26 during the natural disasters.
While the KDRT team completes its mission, the government response team, which was initially deployed for search-and-rescue operations, will remain in Nepal. This team will collaborate closely with Nepalese authorities and provide support to the families of the missing individuals. Consisting of eight members, the government response team comprises three individuals from the ministry and two from the Nat.
