Noting that it is "closely monitoring the ongoing situation in Nepal," the foreign ministry said that it is in touch with all the Maldivian students residing in the affected areas. Jhapa, Morang Sunsari, Sapttari, Siraha, Sarlahi, Rautahat, Banke, Bardiya and Dang districts are the worst affected areas.
The Honorary Consul of the Maldives in Nepal is also providing them "with any required assistance".
At least 47 people have died due to landslides and flooding triggered by heavy rainfall in southern Nepal, leaving thousands homeless. While the flooding and landslides started on Friday, the death toll is expected to go up.
