500 Americans Remain
Unaccounted for in Nepal
As search and rescue efforts
continue in Nepal, about 500
Americans remain
unaccounted for after the 7.8- magnitude earthquake struck last Saturday (April 25).
ABC News reports the U.S. Embassy in Kathmandu has received over 1,000 inquiries about the
whereabouts of missing family members.
The Embassy says that about 500 Americans have been located, leaving 500 potentially missing; however, the missing
list could continue duplicate names.
Ambassador Peter W. Bodde told ABC, “We get information, or families show concern that someone might be missing. We immediately start putting them
into our database and look at what information we have.”
The Embassy is particularly worried about Americans that could be trapped in higher elevation.
About 3,000 to 4,000 Americans were believed to be
visiting Nepal at the time of the earthquake, as it is the
height of tourism season.
