Families descend on Nepal in search of missing tourists

Families of foreign tourists missing in Nepal's catastrophic August 26 flash floods and mudslides continue to search for their loved ones, with over 4,757 people still missing across Nepal and China's Tibet region. The disaster, which killed at least 1,273 people, has left nearly 600 foreigners from over 30 countries unaccounted for, with Indian nationals being the largest group among them. One such case involves Sanjeev Rai, an American whose wife, Jiwan Jyoti, went missing during her pilgrimage to Mount Kailash. With access to the remote village where she was last seen blocked, Rai has largely given up hope of finding her alive, relying instead on DNA testing for identification. British Ambassador Rob Fenn confirmed efforts to assist affected families, including setting up a reception center and providing psychosocial support. Among the missing are also 77 pilgrims affiliated with the Isha Foundation, with some family members traveling to Kathmandu for updates.
