Two Portuguese brothers were found safe in Nepal, after initial concerns about their whereabouts in the country affected by a natural catastrophe. However, the Portuguese Ministry of Foreign Affairs has identified two new cases of Portuguese citizens reported missing in the region.
Foreign Minister Paulo Rangel explained last Thursday that the difficulties in contacting Portuguese nationals are largely due to power and communication problems in the affected areas. These infrastructure failures have significantly hindered efforts to establish communication with Portuguese citizens in the area.
The Portuguese authorities continue to work to locate the two new cases of reported disappearances. The situation in Nepal, where a major natural disaster occurred, has created significant logistical obstacles for rescue operations and diplomatic contacts.
The case of the two brothers found safe brings partial relief, but authorities remain vigilant regarding the remaining Portuguese citizens who have not yet been able to establish contact. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs remains active in efforts to ensure the well-being of all Portuguese nationals in the affected region.
