The Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that while the Lithuanian Embassy remains in contact with Lithuanian citizens and an Indian ashram located in Nepal, no direct contact has been established with a specific citizen. Furthermore, the Ministry reported that no official information regarding the Lithuanian national has been received from Nepali authorities. In the wake of devastating floods, the number of missing persons reported in Nepal has risen to 826.
Authorities indicate that at least 579 of those missing individuals are tourists originating from Nepal and various international locations. The disaster involved significant natural upheaval, including mudslides, which forced large-scale evacuations. Overall, the combined count of missing persons across Nepal and China has surpassed 1,300.
According to a Nepalese tourism official, among the foreign nationals unaccounted for, there are confirmed travelers from Lithuania. This development highlights the ongoing search efforts in the affected regions. Comprehensive coordination is underway to locate all affected parties following the catastrophic weather events in Nepal.
International embassies continue to liaise with local authorities to provide updates on the welfare of their respective citizens who were present in Nepal before the disaster struck.
