Plus d'Australiens disparus identifiés alors que le nombre d'inondations au Népal augmente
Le 29 août 2026, six autres Australiens ont été identifiés comme disparus à la suite des inondations catastrophiques au Népal, portant le nombre total d'Australiens disparus à 41.
Six more Australians have been identified as missing in the Nepalese floods, raising the total number of Australians unaccounted for to 41. This marks what could be the worst loss of Australian lives on foreign soil since the Bali bombings. The missing include Bharat Mangwani, Karan Bhardwaj, Arpan Kothari, Bhavin Raval, Michael Ryan Keats, and Gopi Agastya. Family members of these individuals contacted local media or posted online seeking information about their loved ones. According to the Nepalese National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority, no Australians have been officially listed as rescued, and Australians represent the largest number of foreign nationals missing in the aftermath of the floods. Harsh Maheshwari, a close friend of Mangwani, expressed continued hope that some Australians might still be alive and trapped in buildings beneath the mud. Mangwani’s last known location was the Gyirong Immigration Facility, which was flooded early in the disaster. Many of the affected Australians were participating in the Kailash Manasarovar Yatra, a religious pilgrimage to Mount Kailash and Lake Manasarovar. Karan Bhardwaj, a member of the Royal Australian Air Force, was traveling with friends Arpan Kothari and Bhavin Raval as part of the Kailash Journeys tour group. The trio have not been heard from since the floods struck. Michael Ryan Keats, from New South Wales, was returning from a trip to Mount Kailash in Tibet when the floods hit. He was expected to arrive home on Thursday night. Details about Gopi Agastya remain sparse, though his brother-in-law confirmed he was missing and that his family awaits his safe return. Cara Severino, 26, is the only identified Australian who has made contact with her family. She called her parents early on Friday morning but has not been heard from since. Her family, like others in Australia, continues to await further updates. According to Nepal’s disaster agency, the death toll has risen to 626, with 2,426 people still missing. Over 3,700 people have been rescued in Nepal so far. On the Chinese side, state media reported that 554 people were missing. Search and rescue operations are ongoing in several locations, including the Upper Trishuli-1 Hydropower Project in Nepal’s Rasuwa district and the severely damaged Gyirong border crossing on the Chinese side. Poor weather conditions temporarily hindered aerial rescue operations in Nepal as the search for the missing entered its fourth day. Nepali Army spokesperson Brigadier General Raja Ram Basnet stated that rescue efforts would continue at the hydropower construction site, where authorities estimate more than 100 people are trapped in a tunnel filled with thick mud. Rescuers have used baskets and ropes to reach some individuals, but the operation remains challenging due to the thick mud and limited landing spots for helicopters. Rescuers remain vigilant for potential additional flooding from a newly formed lake high in the Himalayas. In Kathmandu, families are desperately searching for information about their missing loved ones. Hospitals display photographs of the deceased, often washed away by rain, forcing repeated reprinting. Survivors and injured individuals are being treated at the Maharajgunj Medical Campus, where doctors are developing new methods to treat patients covered in mud. Tilmaya Gurung, searching for her sister’s husband, described how her attempts to contact him via phone failed. Her husband, Jai Bahadur Gurung, explained that the family splits into groups to search for information at different locations. Doctors at the hospital are treating patients who suffered severe injuries from being buried in mud, including a five-year-old girl who lost all her family members. Efforts to locate the missing continue, with families gathering at hospitals and military camps, displaying photos of their loved ones. Rescue teams face challenges in accessing key locations, and the situation remains dire as the search for the missing persists.

À la suite d'inondations catastrophiques provoquées par un effondrement glaciaire à la frontière avec le Tibet, des milliers de personnes au Népal sont portées disparues, avec plus de 517 corps récupérés à ce jour. Les familles des disparus se rassemblent dans des hôpitaux de Katmandou, tels que le campus médical de Maharajgunj, où des photographies des personnes décédées et disparues sont affichées dans l'espoir d'une identification. En raison des fortes pluies, ces images sont souvent emportées et doivent être réimprimées. Les survivants sont traités à l'hôpital, beaucoup souffrant de blessures graves après avoir été enterrés dans la boue.
