Government Dispatches Rapid Response Team to Nepal After Floods Leave South Koreans Missing

With nine South Koreans out of contact following floods in Nepal, the government dispatched an 11-member joint rapid response team this morning (August 27).

The government plans to send the response team—consisting of four officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, five from the fire service, and two from the police—to the local site to support the search and rescue of South Koreans.

Lim Sang-woo, head of the government joint rapid response team, stated, "We will do our utmost to ensure swift and safe search and rescue operations for our citizens on the ground in Nepal."
