US Lawmakers Urge Enhanced Search and Aid for Americans Missing in Nepal Floods
Thirty US lawmakers, including five Indian-Americans, have urged Secretary of State Marco Rubio to intensify efforts to locate and assist US citizens missing after Nepal's August 26 flash floods, which killed over 1,300 people. They requested daily updates for families, deployment of high-altitude and thermal drones, and a Disaster Assistance Response Team. The lawmakers acknowledged existing US aid but called for increased support and continued diplomatic engagement with Nepal, China, and donor countries to aid recovery and communication efforts.
