A Singaporean family faces an agonising wait as authorities search for a woman who vanished during Nepal's recent flooding disaster. Her husband expressed the emotional toll of the crisis, saying he does not know how to tell their seven-year-old daughter about her mother's disappearance.
The woman is among at least nine Singaporeans reported missing following the severe floods that have swept through Nepal in recent days. Rescue and recovery operations are ongoing in affected areas as authorities work to locate those unaccounted for.
The flooding has left a trail of destruction across Nepal, with casualties and missing persons reported among both locals and foreign nationals. Singaporean authorities are understood to be coordinating with Nepali officials to assist in search and rescue efforts and to account for all missing citizens.
Families of the missing have been urged to register with the Singapore Embassy in Nepal for updates on the situation. The incident underscores the hazards faced by travellers in the region during monsoon seasons, when heavy rainfall frequently triggers flash floods and landslides in mountainous areas.
