Sydney. Australia Foreign Minister Penny Wong said on Thursday at least 34 of its citizens on pilgrimages and tours in Nepal were missing following deadly floods, but information there was "very limited".
More than 1,000 people including at least 600 foreigners are missing across Nepal and China's Tibet, authorities said on Thursday, after a wall of mud and rock collapsed into a Himalayan river, sending catastrophic floods through towns and valleys.
Wong said at least 34 Australians were among the hundreds missing. "We understand these Australians are part of separate pilgrimage and tour groups," she told a news conference on Thursday.
