Nine Singaporeans Reported Missing Following Nepal Floods
The Nepal Tourism Board has reported that nine Singaporeans are currently missing following severe floods in the country. The individuals were last located in the Rasuwa district, a popular area for trekkers and tourists.
According to an official update released on Thursday, the authorities identified the nine Singaporeans as part of a larger group of people missing in the region. Heavy rainfall has caused significant flooding and landslides across parts of Nepal, making travel and communication difficult in affected areas.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) in Singapore is currently working closely with local authorities in Nepal to gather more information. The government is coordinating with rescue teams to locate the missing citizens and provide necessary assistance to those affected by the natural disaster.
As search and rescue operations continue, the situation remains challenging due to the damage caused by the floods. Officials have advised the public to remain calm while the authorities work to confirm the status of those missing.
Singaporeans who are currently in Nepal and require urgent consular assistance are encouraged to contact the Singapore Ministry of Foreign Affairs Duty Office or the nearest embassy. Further updates will be provided as more information becomes available from the local rescue teams.
