The Hill1 min read109 words
State Department spokesperson Tommy Pigott announced Sunday that roughly 85 American citizens remain unaccounted for after flash flooding struck the border region between Nepal and Tibet. The sudden deluge, which swept through remote mountain communities, prompted an immediate multinational response, and the United States has been coordinating with local authorities to locate and assist those affected.
Pigott told ABC’s Martha Raddatz that nine Americans have already been safely evacuated, while search and rescue teams continue to work in the affected areas. The State Department emphasized that efforts are ongoing to determine the status of the missing individuals and to provide necessary support to families back in the United States.
