The three Portuguese who were missing following the floods in Nepal have now been found. The information was first reported in the Portuguese media, confirming that the three siblings were among the victims of the floods that affected the Asian country.

The floods in Nepal are believed to have caused a significant number of casualties and destruction in the affected region. Local authorities have been involved in search and rescue operations since the floods occurred.

The three Portuguese citizens were in Nepalese territory when the floods occurred, having lost contact with their families and with Portuguese diplomatic representations. The Portuguese Ministry of Foreign Affairs is believed to have monitored the situation in coordination with the Nepalese authorities.

The confirmation of the reunion of the three siblings brings relief after a period of great concern for the families in Portugal, who anxiously awaited news about the whereabouts of their relatives during the natural disaster in Nepal.
