00:02At a hospital mortuary in Kathmandu, a wall covered with photographs, names and contact
00:08numbers has become a symbol of hope for families desperately searching for missing loved ones.
00:15The wall reflects the scale of devastation left by floods that struck the Nepal-Tibet
00:20border on August 26, triggered by a glacier collapse. Thousands remain missing, including
00:27fifty-five Malaysians who are reported uncontactable.
00:31On Sunday, volunteers from United Seeks Malaysia added photographs of the missing Malaysians
00:37to the wall at Treibhuvan University Teaching Hospital, joining thousands of others already
00:43pinned up in the hope of bringing the missing home.
00:57We have the same hope to be able to find them and to bring them back to Malaysia.
01:03We will do the best at our capacity to record for them, to find any clue and do our best
01:14to
01:14bring them back to Malaysia.
01:15This is definitely a very great moment for everybody who is watching this video.
01:23I think there are photos in the count of thousands in the back of me, each pillar with numerous
01:32photos with similar hope.
01:48For the families still waiting, the wall has become more than a record of the missing.
01:56It is a place of hope where prayers are pinned alongside photographs.
02:00Of the 132 Malaysians affected by the disaster, 77 have since been located safely in Tibet and
02:09Nepal and are undergoing processing in Kathmandu ahead of their return home.
02:14The remaining 55 are still unaccounted for.
