Nepal: embassy does not confirm rescue of Portuguese citizen. Listing error may be the cause of confusion

CNN Portugal1 September 2026 at 16:23

The Portuguese embassy in Nepal has not confirmed the rescue of a Portuguese citizen to date. The situation has generated some confusion, which may be related to a listing error.

Portugal has been requesting identification of the victims since the beginning of the situation, but the Nepalese authorities may have only sent numerical lists, without nominal identification.

This lack of detailed information may explain the difficulty in confirming the whereabouts of Portuguese citizens following what happened in Nepal.
