following the flash flood and landslide that hit the Nepal-China border<\/a>\u00a0and killed at least 160 people.<\/p>\nOne of the New Zealand citizens missing is Suhasini Reddy, who has been living in Australia for the last four years.<\/p>\n
Reddy’s brother, Rajeev Reddy, told RNZ his sister, a mother-of-two, was believed to be in the Dhunche area heading towards the Nepal-China border on Wednesday morning local time.<\/p>\n
Reddy was hiking with a group of friends from Australia with the Kailash Journeys Guides, her brother said. The floods occurred on day four of the 15-day trip.<\/p>\n
Reddy said his sister was supposed to be meeting Chinese immigration about 11 am local time. They had not heard anything from her since the flash flood.<\/p>\n
“We really don’t know. We’ve contacted the hotel, the person of contact says she’s not there, and at the moment he can’t provide any information regarding the checkouts and check-ins.”<\/p>\n
He last spoke to his sister the night before the floods, while she was in Kathmandu.<\/p>\n
“She was all good, excited,” he said. “She had this trip planned for a while.”<\/p>\n
Before heading on the trip Suhasini Reddy visited her parents in India where she left her youngest son. Her other son is with family in Australia.<\/p>\n
Rajeev Reddy said the family were desperate for information.<\/p>\n
“We actually don’t know what’s happening … we’re just saying that she’ll be okay,” he said.<\/p>\n
The family appealed for anyone with information about her whereabouts to contact them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The brother of a New Zealand citizen missing following the Nepal flash flood says the family are desperate…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":581606,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[111,43,139,69],"class_list":["post-581605","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-zealand","tag-new-zealand","tag-news","tag-newzealand","tag-nz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/581605","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=581605"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/581605\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/581606"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=581605"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=581605"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=581605"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
