00:01Families of missing pilgrims from India, Ukraine and other countries continue searching for their loved ones after devastating floods and
00:10landslides struck the Nepal-China border.
00:12Among those missing is 33-year-old Indian pilgrim Arushi Gupta, who was traveling to Tibet for a pilgrimage to
00:20Mount Kailash.
00:21Her last message to her father noted she was roughly a 15-minute walk from the border before all contact
00:27was lost.
00:27We are getting updates from Nepali's authority. We have full faith, we have full confidence.
00:42Nepal government and China government, with folded hand, I have faith in China and Nepal government.
00:53They will definitely rescue her. She will be found.
00:58With no confirmation of deaths, the lack of concrete information leaves families holding on to a desperate glimmer of hope.
01:05We cry sometimes, then we try to compose ourselves, me and my wife, console each other.
01:17We are convinced that she has gone to Tibet site on a safe, some elevated place, maybe in a bad
01:27shape.
01:29Her husband is convinced, I am convinced, wife is convinced, every one of our family members is convinced, that she
01:38will be rescued.
01:39Miracles do happen.
01:41Meanwhile, 42-year-old Ukrainian pilgrim Elena Horlova disappeared near the mountainous border crossing while on a spiritual retreat,
01:50prompting her daughter to reach out to authorities across four countries.
01:54I come home and then when I go to sleep, I'm always having like the sound on, in a way,
02:00just in case something happens, in case someone calls me or something like that.
02:03No one ever calls me though, so it's also like some sort of disappointment.
02:09But I'm trying to think also about the fact that there haven't been any information, so we don't know if
02:15they actually died in the flood or if they were rescued.
02:19So at least they weren't confirmed dead, so I think that's like a little hope to hold on to.
02:25The families refuse to let go of hope, holding tight to the silence that means their loved ones have not
02:31yet been named among the dead.
02:33Nepali authorities say at least 1,386 people have died and 5,130 remain missing, while China has reported 43
02:44deaths and more than 519 missing.
02:49That's why I'd be interested in the incident.
02:51So I'm just hearing from you.
02:54So that's why they can't.
02:55I mean, there's a little reason why they're in the dead.
02:58I think that there were a lot of people that have been in the dead.
02:58So I think maybe they're going to find the dead again.
02:58And I think that there were a lot of people working for them to see that they were in the
02:59dead.
02:59So that there's something that just happened.
02:59If you don't know what to say, they've been in the dead, they're in one time.
02:59So I don't know what to say.
02:59So I think that there's the Boden.
