The Department of International Relations and Cooperation (DIRCO) says six South Africans remain unaccounted for following devastating flash floods in Nepal.
At the request of Nepalese authorities, the South African Police Service (SAPS) has collected DNA profiles from relatives of the missing.
The profiles have been sent to authorities in Nepal and Interpol in Kathmandu.
SA missions in India and China are also helping coordinate the response.
DIRCO says they will continue to monitor the situation closely and provide updates to the families as more information becomes available.
