Rescue efforts are continuing in Nepal after a devastating landslide, with 43 Australians still unaccounted for. The disaster struck a remote mountain village, burying homes and trapping residents under debris.
Ongoing search operations
Emergency teams, including Nepalese army personnel and local volunteers, have been working around the clock to locate the missing. So far, they have recovered several bodies, but no survivors have been found since the initial rescue phase.
Australian officials are in close contact with Nepalese authorities and have dispatched a consular team to assist families of the missing. The Australian government has also offered support, including search and rescue expertise.
Impact and response
The landslide, triggered by heavy monsoon rains, has devastated the village, leaving many families homeless. Local authorities have set up temporary shelters for displaced residents.
As the search continues, the focus remains on finding the missing Australians and providing aid to the affected community. Officials have not yet provided a timeline for when the search might conclude.
