More than 392 people have died and over 1,000 remain missing, including 39 Australians, after devastating floods swept through communities near the Nepal-Tibet border. In response, the Australian Government has announced consular and humanitarian assistance, including a $5 million support package for communities affected by the disaster.
Australians seeking emergency consular assistance can contact DFAT's 24-hour Consular Emergency Centre on 1300 555 135, or from overseas on +61 2 6261 3305.
