Families of South Koreans missing in Nepal floods seek urgent helicopter access The catastrophic flash flood that swept through a hydropower project in Nepal on Wednesday has left nine South Korean workers missing.
Their families are desperately seeking helicopter access to aid in the search and rescue efforts, which have been hindered by Nepal's military restricting private helicopter operations due to concerns about further flooding.
Nepal's government claims it can manage the response without foreign assistance, but its stance raises questions about its willingness to accept international aid.
