Flash flooding in Nepal has left dozens of United States and Canadian citizens among hundreds of people reported as unaccounted for, officials from both countries said.
Details about the incident and the precise number of foreign nationals affected remain limited. Governments in Washington and Ottawa have stated they are closely monitoring developments and said they are following the situation in coordination with local authorities.
Nepalese authorities have reported a large number of people missing, but information released so far has not provided a full breakdown of nationalities or locations. International agencies and foreign missions are expected to provide further updates as local assessments continue.
The situation remains fluid and authorities have urged caution until more complete information becomes available. Additional details on the status of the missing and any rescue or recovery operations are likely to be released in the coming hours and days.
