TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The number of foreign tourists rescued following floods in Nepal has risen to 121, according to the Nepal Tourism Board on Friday, August 28.
The Kathmandu Post previously reported that 117 foreign tourists had been rescued.
The Nepal Tourism Board said the 121 rescued tourists included nationals of India, China, South Korea, the United States, Russia, Italy, Bulgaria, and Switzerland. The nationalities of three survivors had yet to be confirmed.
Rescue Operations Resume
Rescue operations in flood-hit areas of Nepal have resumed after being temporarily suspended because of high water levels, according to local media reports citing military officials.
Heavy floodwaters were reported flowing into the Bhote Koshi River in Nepal's mountainous region on Wednesday, August 26.
The flash floods were initially reported to have been triggered by an earthquake and subsequent landslides.
However, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) said on Thursday, August 27, that the seismic activity was caused by a collapsing glacier rather than underground tremors.
The latest figures put the death toll from the floods in Nepal at 547.
