The Canadian government has confirmed that 32 Canadians are among 1,924 people reported missing following the devastating floods and landslides along the Nepal-Tibet border.
Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand and Minister for International Development Randeep Sarai said Canada’s ambassador to Nepal has provided the latest information to Global Affairs Canada.
Authorities have recovered 579 bodies from the debris so far, but Nepalese authorities have not officially identified any of the recovered victims as Canadian citizens. Anand warned that the number of missing Canadians could be even higher as officials continue efforts to reconcile the missing-person figures.
As of Thursday, 30 Canadians had been reported missing.
Anand described the situation in Nepal as a devastating humanitarian emergency, with widespread destruction and a significant loss of life.
