Nepal. More than 4,000 people still missing

Observador15 September 2026 at 10:35

More than four thousand people remain missing in Nepal nearly three weeks after a devastating flood hit the country. The number of missing includes 610 foreigners of various nationalities.

Among those missing are two Portuguese citizens, according to the information provided. Nepalese authorities continue their efforts to locate the missing persons, although the chances of finding survivors diminish with each passing day.

The flood caused large-scale destruction, affecting entire communities and leaving a significant toll of dead and displaced. Search and rescue operations continue, but face logistical difficulties due to the extent of the damage caused by the natural disaster.

Why this matters

Two Portuguese nationals are among the missing, making this directly relevant to readers with connections to Portugal or Portuguese communities abroad. The scale of the disaster—with over 4,000 missing—underscores the severity of the situation in Nepal and the ongoing search and rescue efforts nearly three weeks after the disaster struck.
