Nepal: hundreds of foreigners among missing after deadly floods

Euronews Portugal29 August 2026 at 15:36

The deadly floods in Nepal left hundreds of people missing, including a large number of foreign tourists. According to Nepal's tourism body, 622 tourists remained uncontactable on Friday, of which 473 were foreigners.

The floods were caused by heavy rains that hit the country, resulting in deaths and destruction in several regions. The situation was complicated by the difficulty of communicating with the affected areas.

The Nepali government and tourism authorities continue to try to establish contact with the missing tourists. Rescue and assistance efforts are underway to locate the victims and provide support to those affected by the floods.
