Brussels - Around 60 European Union citizens remain unaccounted for after the devastating earthquake in Nepal, an EU source said on Monday, far lower than an estimate of 1 000 missing EU citizens given by a senior EU official last week.
The 60 were people who were reported to be in Nepal at the time of the earthquake and who could not yet be contacted.
This number is “going down by the hour” as rescue teams reach remote areas, the source said.
