Missing Pilgrims In Tibet

Families of missing pilgrims demand answers from China following a deadly Tibet mudslide.

Families of missing pilgrims in Tibet are demanding answers from China following a mudslide that killed over 1,300 people and left over 5,600 missing on both sides. Priyanka Choudhary, an Indian-born Finnish citizen returning from a Hindu pilgrimage, is one of 261 foreign nationals still missing in Tibet ten days after the disaster. Her family and others seeking lost relatives are expressing frustration at Beijing's response. The mudslid, which hit the Tibet-Nepal border, left at least 31 people confirmed dead and 531 missing in all. However, several families allege an information blackout in China, which has not provided any updates on the situation. China's foreign ministry has responded to the accusations and has been holding briefings for embassies representing 23 countries, promising to work with other countries and agencies to identify the dead.
