72 Malaysians confirmed safe after Nepal-Tibet floods; 55 still missing

Malaysian authorities have confirmed the safety of 72 nationals in China following severe flooding that has impacted Nepal and the Tibet region. The confirmations came after intensive efforts to locate citizens caught in the disaster zone. However, officials remain concerned about 55 Malaysians still unaccounted for in Nepal, where the flooding has caused widespread disruption. Another 36 Malaysians in China cannot be reached due to telecommunications disruptions caused by the floods, creating uncertainty about their current status. Authorities are continuing coordination efforts with counterparts in China and Nepal to locate and assist all affected nationals. The floods have affected a large geographic area across the Nepal-Tibet border region, with rescue and relief operations ongoing. Malaysian diplomatic missions in both countries are working to consolidate information and provide assistance to affected citizens and their families.
