Families Urge US to Expand Search for Missing Americans in Nepal Floods
Families of at least 90 missing US nationals after Nepal's August 26 flash floods have written to US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, urging expanded rescue efforts. The letter, signed by relatives of 57 missing people including Americans and others, requests deployment of high-altitude aircraft, satellite imagery, and enhanced coordination with Nepal, China, and other countries. Most missing were on a pilgrimage route near Mount Kailash. Families expressed frustration over limited US government response and sought improved communication and resources for search operations.
