Six South Africans are reported missing after severe floods strike the Nepal–Tibet border region. Families are waiting for updates while rescue efforts continue in the aftermath of the disaster, with authorities and aid organisations working to determine what happened to those affected.
The South African non-profit Gift of the Givers says it keeps specialist search and rescue teams on standby. The group indicates it is prepared for possible deployment, depending on developments and requests for support as information about casualties and the missing continues to emerge. Across reporting, the focus remains on the families’ lack of confirmation and the search for the missing, with the exact circumstances and locations of individuals not yet fully detailed publicly.
