The devastating floods have destroyed roads, buildings, and hydroelectric projects in the Rasuwagadhi-Timure region of Nepal. The Nepal Tourism Board informed that the travel arrangements for the missing Malaysian tourists are being handled by Fishtail Tours and Travels. As of late afternoon, at least 291 foreign nationals and 93 Nepalis have been unaccounted for, while police and tour management personnel are searching for them. The Malaysian Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed that 11 Malaysian nationals believed to be in Rasuwa have been reported missing due to the flooding. The ministry stated that the search and rescue efforts led by the Nepalese government are currently underway to locate the affected Malaysian tourists and ensure their safety. In addition to the Malaysians, other missing foreigners include 142 Indians, 37 of whom are non-residents, along with nationals from Britain, South Africa, and the United States.",
