An immigration checkpoint has reportedly been swept away in Nepal's flash flooding, as family of missing New Zealanders appeal for any information on people in the area.Five New Zealanders have been reported missing following the flash flood and landslide at the Nepal-China border that has killed more than 380 people, with 1400 missing.Rajeev Reddy, whose sister Suhasini is one of five missing Kiwis, said he is trying to work out the level of the damage around the immigration checkpoint between Nepal and Tibet, and if anyone was able to make it to higher ground."We have confirmed that Suhasini did not cross the border," he wrote on Facebook. "We therefore believe she may have been near the immigration/checkpoint area when the flooding hit."Former Honorary Consul of Nepal to New Zealand Dinesh Khadka said the checkpoint was completely swept away in the flooding, and nobody has made contact with anyone who was in the area.A member of the security forces and his sniffer dog search for survivors.PRAKASH MATHEMA / AFPHe said there's no further information on the five missing New Zealanders.The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT) said it is still waiting for official information from authorities on the ground, as they work to establish the whereabouts of the missing."The widespread and significant destruction is likely to mean verified information will take some time to emerge," a spokesperson said.Consular staff are now on the ground in Kathmandu, working with authorities and partners to urgently gather information and support the affected families.New Zealand has pledged a $2 million humanitarian assistance package for Nepal, to support the Nepal Red Cross deliver emergency assistance including shelter, water and sanitation, MFAT said."Funding will also be made available to other international humanitarian partners with the capacity to provide essential relief and early recover assistance."Prime Minister Christopher Luxon.RNZ / Nick MonroPrime Minister Christopher Luxon said New Zealand is offering consular support in Nepal and it's happy to "surge" that with more resources.He did not have any further information about the five New Zealanders missing "apart from to say that we've got consular support in there engaging with authorities".Luxon also acknowledged thousands of Nepalese people in New Zealand."Having spoken to some members of the Nepalese community this morning, you know, there are many families here in New Zealand that are going through high levels of anxiety, understandably, because they're losing, they've lost loved ones at home as well."Luxon said it was a devastating situation.Here's what we know about those who are missing following the disaster:Local residents inspect houses lying deluged in sludge after flash floods at Devighat, Bidur Municipality in Nepal's Nuwakot district.PRABIN RANABHAT / AFPHamilton couple was celebrating 50th birthday in NepalThe son of a Hamilton couple missing following the Nepal flash flood is holding onto hope his parents left the area in the hours before the landslide struck.Mihir Patel and Kinnari Patel, who own the Best Value Urlich Ave Dairy in Hamilton, were also among the missing New Zealanders.Their eldest son, Drishya Patel, told RNZ the couple were visiting Nepal to celebrate his mother's upcoming 50th birthday.
