Dozens of Israelis receiving assistance in Nepal following massive flooding, insurance company says
None of the insured travelers is currently believed to be in life-threatening danger, and their families are in regular contact with the situation room.
Dozens of Israeli travelers are receiving assistance in Nepal following heavy rain, flooding concerns, and severe weather that disrupted major trekking regions across the country, according to PassportCard's situation room. PassportCard is assisting 40 insured travelers, including 17 in the Annapurna region, 17 in the Manaslu region, four in the Tsum Valley near Chumling, and two in the Everest region.
Four of the travelers require medical attention and are expected to be evacuated for treatment once weather conditions permit. Local authorities issued warnings overnight due to the risk of flooding, and travelers were instructed to move to safer areas. Nepal's travel remains severely restricted, with numerous roads blocked and trekking activities suspended in affected areas.
PassportCard's situation room will remain available around the clock and continue assisting the travelers and their families until the emergency ends and normal travel can resume.
