Nepalese authorities earlier announce that a British citizen is rescued, stating he has been found alive following floods. The claim is reported as emerging about a week after the floods. However, the British aid volunteer, Alastair Chambers, later says Nepal did not rescue him and that the report of him being “found alive” is mistaken.
According to accounts cited by the outlet, Chambers had traveled to Nepal after the flooding to volunteer as an aid worker. The differing accounts concern how the volunteer is located or recovered, with official statements indicating a rescue and Chambers describing the circumstances differently. The reports also highlight a mismatch between the timing and basis of the “found alive” announcement and the volunteer’s account of what actually happened.
The available information focuses on the confusion around the announcement and the volunteer’s response, without detailing separate, independently verified findings about the exact method or circumstances of his discovery or recovery.
