Nepal is experiencing extreme and unusual weather conditions, characterized by heavy and continuous rainfall, leading to widespread road closures and severe transportation disruptions. The challenging terrain and landslides are further complicating travel on major routes and limiting access to various locations.
As a result of the blocked roads and flooding, several Israeli travelers are currently stranded in mountainous areas where access and communication are difficult. The Israeli Embassy in Nepal and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' Bureau of Israelis Abroad are closely monitoring the situation.
Israeli diplomatic officials in Kathmandu are coordinating with local emergency services, tourism companies, and tour guides to locate the disconnected Israelis and provide assistance.
