Families Urge Australian Government to Aid Missing in Nepal

Families of Australian citizens missing after devastating flooding in northern Nepal are calling on the Albanese government to increase assistance and maintain focus on the disaster. The appeals come as reports from the affected districts describe the scale of human suffering as "unfathomable."

Akash Venkatraman, a student based in Sydney, is among those pleading for help. His parents and four family friends remain missing in the region. Venkatraman expressed concern that both public and governmental attention in Australia are diminishing as the aftermath of the disaster continues.
