There are still three Portuguese citizens among the almost 4,000 people missing in Nepal, according to the most recent update of the disaster victim lists.
On Tuesday, it had been reported that a Portuguese had been rescued alive by Nepali authorities, which generated expectation about the possibility of being among the survivors.
However, the most recent update of the official list shows that this person remains listed as missing, and the rescue information has not been confirmed.
The situation highlights the difficulties in verifying and communicating data on the ground during the humanitarian crisis that followed the earthquake in Nepal.
